Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: fix build warnings with sparse of capflags.o

It seems that sparse builds don't define __KERNEL__ which means
the check step of capflags.c is triggering the following sparse
warnings. Fix this by checking for __CHECKER__ in addition to the
__KERNEL__ check.

Fixes the following sparse warnings:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/capflags.c:5:12: warning: symbol 'x86_cap_flags' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/capflags.c:295:12: warning: symbol 'x86_bug_flags' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/capflags.c:343:12: warning: symbol 'x86_vmx_flags' was not declared. Should it be static?
