Subject: [PATCH v10 8/9] x86/split_lock: Set cpu_model_supports_sld to true after the existence of split lock detection is verified BSP

It should be more resonable to set cpu_model_supports_sld to true after
BSP is verified to have feature split lock detection.

It also avoids externing the cpu_model_supports_sld when enumerate the
split lock detection in a guest via PV interface in a future patch.
