x86/CPU/AMD: Disable XSAVES on AMD family 0x17
commit b0563468ee upstream.
AMD Erratum 1386 is summarised as:
XSAVES Instruction May Fail to Save XMM Registers to the Provided
State Save Area
This piece of accidental chronomancy causes the %xmm registers to
occasionally reset back to an older value.
Ignore the XSAVES feature on all AMD Zen1/2 hardware. The XSAVEC
instruction (which works fine) is equivalent on affected parts.
[ bp: Typos, move it into the F17h-specific function. ]
