  x86/cpu: Fix migration safety with X86_BUG_NULL_SEL (2021-10-21 20:49:16 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Start checking a CPUID bit on AMD Zen3 which states that the CPU
clears the segment base when a null selector is written. Do the explicit
detection on older CPUs, zen2 and hygon specifically, which have the
functionality but do not advertize the CPUID bit. Factor in the presence
of a hypervisor underneath the kernel and avoid doing the explicit check
there which the HV might've decided to not advertize for migration
safety reasons, a.o.

- Add support for a new X86 CPU vendor: VORTEX. Needed for whitelisting
those CPUs in the hardware vulnerabilities detection

- Force the compiler to use rIP-relative addressing in the fallback path of
static_cpu_has(), in order to avoid unnecessary register pressure
