x86: A fast way to check capabilities of the current cpu
Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation. For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h. Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch. However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later. -tj: Rolled up patch to add x86_ prefix and use percpu_read() instead of percpu_read_stable().
