x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate #DB for bus lock detection

A bus lock is acquired through either a split locked access to writeback
(WB) memory or any locked access to non-WB memory. This is typically >1000
cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache line. It also
disrupts performance on other cores.

Some CPUs have the ability to notify the kernel by a #DB trap after a user
instruction acquires a bus lock and is executed. This allows the kernel to
enforce user application throttling or mitigation. Both breakpoint and bus
lock can trigger the #DB trap in the same instruction and the ordering of
handling them is the kernel #DB handler's choice.

The CPU feature flag to be shown in /proc/cpuinfo will be "bus_lock_detect".
