x86/mm: Fix bogus warning during EFI bootup, use boot_cpu_has() instead of this_cpu_has() in build_cr3_noflush()
Linus reported the following boot warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h:134 load_new_mm_cr3+0x114/0x170
[...]
Call Trace:

03781e4: x86/efi: Use efi_switch_mm() rather than manually twiddling with %cr3
When the platform supports PCID and if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y is enabled,
build_cr3_noflush() (called via switch_mm()) does a sanity check to see
if X86_FEATURE_PCID is set.
Presently, build_cr3_noflush() uses "this_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PCID)" to
perform the check but this_cpu_has() works only after SMP is initialized
(i.e. per cpu cpu_info's should be populated) and this happens to be very
late in the boot process (during rest_init()).
As efi_runtime_services() are called during (early) kernel boot time
and run time, modify build_cr3_noflush() to use boot_cpu_has() all the
time. As suggested by Dave Hansen, this should be OK because all CPU's have
same capabilities on x86.
With this change the warning is fixed.
( Dave also suggested that we put a warning in this_cpu_has() if it's used
early in the boot process. This is still work in progress as it affects
MCE. )
