Subject: [PATCH v1 6/7] x86/cpu: <asm/processor.h>: Do not include CPUID API header

<asm/processor.h> includes the CPUID API header <asm/cpuid/api.h>, but
all what it needs are the data types from <asm/cpuid/types.h>.

Modify the header to include <asm/cpuid/types.h> instead.

Note, this allows the CPUID API header to include <asm/processor.h>
without introducing a circular dependency, which is needed for the
upcoming CPUID model and parser.
