Subject: [PATCH V2 1/4] selftests: Provide local define of __cpuid_count()

Some selftests depend on information provided by the CPUID instruction.
To support this dependency the selftests implement private wrappers for
CPUID.

Duplication of the CPUID wrappers should be avoided.

Both gcc and clang/LLVM provide __cpuid_count() macros but neither
the macro nor its header file are available in all the compiler
versions that need to be supported by the selftests. __cpuid_count()
as provided by gcc is available starting with gcc v4.4, so it is
not available if the latest tests need to be run in all the
environments required to support kernels v4.9 and v4.14 that
have the minimal required gcc v3.2.

Provide a centrally defined macro for __cpuid_count() to help
eliminate the duplicate CPUID wrappers while continuing to
compile in older environments.

Note to maintainers:
- Macro is identical to the one provided by gcc, but not liked by
  checkpatch.pl with message "Macros with complex values should
  be enclosed in parentheses". Similar style is used in kernel,
  for example in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.h.
