x86/boot: Detect the firmware SMT setting correctly on Intel hardware
While boot_cpu_data.x86_num_siblings is an accurate value to use on AMD
hardware, it isn't on Intel when the user has disabled Hyperthreading in the
firmware. As a result, a user which has chosen to disable HT still gets
nagged on L1TF-vulnerable hardware when they haven't chosen an explicit
smt=<bool> setting.
Make use of the largely-undocumented MSR_INTEL_CORE_THREAD_COUNT which in
practice exists since Nehalem, when booting on real hardware. Fall back to
using the ACPI table APIC IDs.
While adjusting this logic, fix a latent bug in amd_get_topology(). The
thread count field in CPUID.0x8000001e.ebx is documented as 8 bits wide,
rather than 2 bits wide.
