Subject: [PATCH RFC] x86/cpu: fix intermittent lockup on poweroff

In stop_this_cpu(), make sure the CPUID leaf exists before accessing the
leaf.  This fixes a lockup on poweroff 50% of the time due to the wrong
branch being taken randomly on some CPUs (seen on Supermicro X8DTH-6F
with Intel Xeon X5650).

Fixes: 08f253ec3767 ("x86/cpu: Clear SME feature flag when not in use")
Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 5.18+
Signed-off-by: Tony Battersby <tonyb@...ernetics.com>

NOTE: I don't have any AMD CPUs to test, so I was unable to fully test
this patch.  Could someone with an AMD CPU that supports SME please test
this and make sure it calls native_wbinvd()?
