Subject: [PATCH v2 RESEND] x86/cpu: fix SME test in stop_this_cpu()

Original thread title: "x86/cpu: fix intermittent lockup on poweroff"

I think we all agreed that my small patch below was correct.  tglx also
had an additional patch to fix the underlying race condition, but the
thread seems to have died out.  Can I get my patch applied at least?

Thanks,

Check that the CPU supports the desired CPUID leaf before attempting to
read it.  On Intel, querying an invalid extended CPUID leaf returns the
values of the maximum basic CPUID leaf.  Depending on the CPU, this
could cause the SME test to incorrectly evaluate to true, causing
native_wbinvd() to be executed when it should have been skipped (seen on
a Supermicro X8DTH-6F board with Intel Xeon X5650).
