Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/mm: Don't disable INVLPG 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 INVLPG if the microcode is new enough.

Nit: Except in the "net" subtree, the proper format for multi-line comments
is this:

/*
* The hypervisor may lie about the microcode revision, conservatively
* consider the microcode not updated.
*/

Modulo the nit above,

I'm good with this. Losing PCID has definite performance impact,
but I lean toward being conservative when we can't verify the
microcode version.

I'd also be interested in other perspectives. :-)
