x86/cpu: Add Erratum 88 detection on AMD
Erratum 88 affects old AMD K8s, where a SWAPGS fails to cause an input
dependency on GS. Therefore, we need to MFENCE before it.
But that MFENCE is expensive and unnecessary on the remaining x86 CPUs
out there so patch it out on the CPUs which don't require it.
