Currently the SME CPU feature flag is reflective of whether the CPU
supports the feature but not whether is has been activated by the
kernel.
Change this around to clear the SME feature flag if the kernel is not
using it so userspace can determine if it is available and in use
from `/proc/cpuinfo`.
As the feature flag is cleared on systems where SME isn't active use
CPUID 0x8000001f to confirm SME availability before calling
`native_wbinvd`.

Why not "goto clear_all;" ?

"clear_all" clears SEV and SEV_ES as well which as pointed out in v2 is
incorrect.

x86/cpu: Clear SME feature flag when not in use
Currently, the SME CPU feature flag is reflective of whether the CPU
supports the feature but not whether it has been activated by the
kernel.
Change this around to clear the SME feature flag if the kernel is not
using it so userspace can determine if it is available and in use
from /proc/cpuinfo.
As the feature flag is cleared on systems where SME isn't active, use
CPUID 0x8000001f to confirm SME availability before calling
native_wbinvd().
