x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate TSX suspend load address tracking instructions

Browse source

Intel TSX suspend load tracking instructions aim to give a way to choose
which memory accesses do not need to be tracked in the TSX read set. Add
TSX suspend load tracking CPUID feature flag TSXLDTRK for enumeration.

A processor supports Intel TSX suspend load address tracking if
CPUID.0x07.0x0:EDX[16] is present. Two instructions XSUSLDTRK, XRESLDTRK
are available when this feature is present.

The CPU feature flag is shown as "tsxldtrk" in /proc/cpuinfo.
