x86/mm: Rework wbinvd, hlt operation in stop_this_cpu() Some issues have been reported with the for loop in stop_this_cpu() that issues the 'wbinvd; hlt' sequence. Reverting this sequence to halt() has been shown to resolve the issue. However, the wbinvd is needed when running with SME. The reason for the wbinvd is to prevent cache flush races between encrypted and non-encrypted entries that have the same physical address. This can occur when kexec'ing from memory encryption active to inactive or vice-versa. The important thing is to not have outside of kernel text memory references (such as stack usage), so the usage of the native_*() functions is needed since these expand as inline asm sequences. So instead of reverting the change, rework the sequence. Move the wbinvd instruction outside of the for loop as native_wbinvd() and make its execution conditional on X86_FEATURE_SME. In the for loop, change the asm 'wbinvd; hlt' sequence back to a halt sequence but use the native_halt() call.
