Subject: [PATCH v11 01/37] x86/cpufeatures: Add the cpu feature bit for WRMSRNS

WRMSRNS is an instruction that behaves exactly like WRMSR, with
the only difference being that it is not a serializing instruction
by default. Under certain conditions, WRMSRNS may replace WRMSR to
improve performance.

Add the CPU feature bit for WRMSRNS.
