Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/cpu: clear SME features when not in use

Currently the SME CPU feature flag is reflective of whether the CPU
supports the features but not whether they have been activated by the
kernel.

Change this around to clear the features if the kernel is not using
them so userspace can determine if they are available and in use
from `/proc/cpuinfo`.

As the feature flag is now cleared on systems that SME isn't active
use CPUID 0x8000001f to confirm SME availability before calling
`native_wbinvd`.

Changes from v2->v3:
 * Drop all changes related to SEV, these will be worked out separately.
 * Only clear SME flag rather than all flags if sme_me_mask is not set
