Subject: thermal/powerclamp: correct cpu support check

From: Eric Ernst <eric.ernst@linux.intel.com>

commit 3105f234e0aba43e44e277c20f9b32ee8add43d4 upstream.

Initial logic for checking CPU match resulted in OR of CPU features
rather than the intended AND.

Updated to use boot_cpu_has macro rather than x86_match_cpu.

In addition, MWAIT is the only required CPU feature for idle
injection to work.  Drop other feature requirements since they are
only needed for optimal efficiency.
