x86: Clear incorrectly forced X86_FEATURE_LAHF_LM flag
Due to an erratum with certain AMD Athlon 64 processors, the
BIOS may need to force enable the LAHF_LM capability.
Unfortunately, in at least one case, the BIOS does this even
for processors that do not support the functionality.
Add a specific check that will clear the feature bit for
processors known not to support the LAHF/SAHF instructions.
