    x86: Check RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT for RTM [BZ #28033]

    From

rs.html

    * Intel TSX will be disabled by default.
    * The processor will force abort all Restricted Transactional Memory (R=
TM)
      transactions by default.
    * A new CPUID bit CPUID.07H.0H.EDX[11](RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT) will be
enumerated,
      which is set to indicate to updated software that the loaded microcod=
e is
      forcing RTM abort.
    * On processors that enumerate support for RTM, the CPUID enumeration b=
its
      for Intel TSX (CPUID.07H.0H.EBX[11] and CPUID.07H.0H.EBX[4]) continue=
 to
      be set by default after microcode update.
    * Workloads that were benefited from Intel TSX might experience a change
      in performance.
    * System software may use a new bit in Model-Specific Register (MSR) 0x=
10F
      TSX_FORCE_ABORT[TSX_CPUID_CLEAR] functionality to clear the Hardware =
Lock
      Elision (HLE) and RTM bits to indicate to software that Intel TSX is
      disabled.

    1. Add RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT to CPUID features.
    2. Set RTM usable only if RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT isn't set.  This skips the
    string/tst-memchr-rtm etc. testcases on the affected processors, which
    always fail after a microcde update.
    3. Check RTM feature, instead of usability, against /proc/cpuinfo.

    This fixes BZ #28033.

    (cherry picked from commit ea8e465a6b8d0f26c72bcbe453a854de3abf68ec)
