Subject: [PATCH v9 1/2] x86/mm: Don't disable PCID if "incomplete Global INVLPG flushes" is fixed by microcode

Per the "Processor Specification Update" documentations referred by the
intel-microcode-20240312 release note, this microcode release has fixed
the issue for all affected models.

So don't disable PCID if the microcode is new enough. The precise
minimum microcode revision fixing the issue is provided by engineer from
Intel.

Subject: [PATCH v9 2/2] x86/mm: Don't disable PCID if the kernel is running on a hypervisor

The Intel erratum for "incomplete Global INVLPG flushes" says:

This erratum does not apply in VMX non-root operation. It applies
only when PCIDs are enabled and either in VMX root operation or
outside VMX operation.

So if the kernel is running in a hypervisor, we are in VMX non-root
operation and we should be safe to use PCID.

If it still applies. Nothing to do.

Unfortunately it conflicts with x86 CPU vendor/family/model code rework.
I'll make v10 ASAP.
