x86/cpufeature: Add User-Mode Instruction Prevention definitions

[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit: (limited to the cpufeatures.h file)

    3522c2a6a4f3 ("x86/cpufeature: Add User-Mode Instruction Prevention definitions")

  ... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ]

User-Mode Instruction Prevention is a security feature present in new
Intel processors that, when set, prevents the execution of a subset of
instructions if such instructions are executed in user mode (CPL > 0).
Attempting to execute such instructions causes a general protection
exception.

The subset of instructions comprises:

 * SGDT - Store Global Descriptor Table
 * SIDT - Store Interrupt Descriptor Table
 * SLDT - Store Local Descriptor Table
 * SMSW - Store Machine Status Word
 * STR  - Store Task Register

This feature is also added to the list of disabled-features to allow
a cleaner handling of build-time configuration.
