x86/cpu: Add CPU type to struct cpuinfo_topology
Sometimes it is required to take actions based on if a CPU is a performance or efficiency core. As an example, intel_pstate driver uses the Intel core-type to determine CPU scaling. Also, some CPU vulnerabilities only affect a specific CPU type, like RFDS only affects Intel Atom. Hybrid systems that have variants P+E, P-only(Core) and E-only(Atom), it is not straightforward to identify which variant is affected by a type specific vulnerability. Such processors do have CPUID field that can uniquely identify them. Like, P+E, P-only and E-only enumerates CPUID.1A.CORE_TYPE identification, while P+E additionally enumerates CPUID.7.HYBRID. Based on this information, it is possible for boot CPU to identify if a system has mixed CPU types. Add a new field hw_cpu_type to struct cpuinfo_topology that stores the hardware specific CPU type. This saves the overhead of IPIs to get the CPU type of a different CPU. CPU type is populated early in the boot process, before vulnerabilities are enumerated.
