[PATCH 04/15] x86/split_lock: Use non locked bit set instruction in set_cpu_cap

[Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>]

set_bit() called by set_cpu_cap() is a locked bit set instruction for
atomic operation.

Since the c->x86_capability is not aligned to cache line depending on
compiler, the locked bit set instruction falls into split lock
situation which causes #AC exception when #AC exception is enabled by
split locked accesses.

But set_cpu_cap() is only called in early init phase on a CPU and
therefore there is no contention for set_cpu_cap(). So it's unnecessary
to be atomic operation.

Using __set_bit(), which is not a locked instruction, can fix the
kernel split lock issue and is faster than locked instruction.
