x86/cpu: Don't clear X86_FEATURE_LAHF_LM flag in init_amd_k8() on AMD…

… when running in a virtual machine

When running in a virtual machine, we might see the original hardware CPU
vendor string (i.e. "AuthenticAMD"), but a model and family ID set by the
hypervisor. In case we run on AMD hardware and the hypervisor sets a model
ID < 0x14, the LAHF cpu feature is eliminated from the the list of CPU
capabilities present to circumvent a bug with some BIOSes in conjunction with
AMD K8 processors.

Parsing the flags list from /proc/cpuinfo seems to be happening mostly in
bash scripts and prebuilt Docker containers, as it does not need to have
additionals tools present – even though more reliable ways like using "kcpuid",
which calls the CPUID instruction instead of parsing a list, should be preferred.
Scripts, that use /proc/cpuinfo to determine if the current CPU is
"compliant" with defined microarchitecture levels like x86-64-v2 will falsely
claim the CPU is incapable of modern CPU instructions when "lahf_lm" is missing
in that flags list.

This can prevent some docker containers from starting or build scripts to create
unoptimized binaries.

Admittably, this is more a small inconvenience than a severe bug in the kernel
and the shoddy scripts that rely on parsing /proc/cpuinfo
should be fixed instead.

This patch adds an additional check to see if we're running inside a
virtual machine (X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR is present), which, to my
understanding, can't be present on a real K8 processor as it was introduced
only with the later/other Athlon64 models.

Example output with the "lahf_lm" flag missing in the flags list
(should be shown between "hypervisor" and "abm"):

    $ cat /proc/cpuinfo

                      3dnowprefetch vmmcall bmi1 avx2 bmi2 xsaveopt

... while kcpuid shows the feature to be present in the CPU:

    # kcpuid -d | grep lahf
         lahf_lm             - LAHF/SAHF available in 64-bit mode
