Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 kexec fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single fix for the WBINVD issue introduced by the SME support which
  causes kexec fails on non AMD/SME capable CPUs. Issue WBINVD only when
  the CPU has SME and avoid doing so in a loop"

[ Side note: this patch fixes the problem, but it isn't entirely clear
  why it is required. The wbinvd should just work regardless, but there
  seems to be some system - as opposed to CPU - issue, since the wbinvd
  causes more problems later in the shutdown sequence, but wbinvd
  instructions while the system is still active are not problematic.

  Possibly some SMI or pending machine check issue on the affected system ]
