Applied, thanks.

Now that we have some .c files for rte_cpuflags, I think some code
may be changed.
The function rte_cpu_get_features() and the struct feature_entry are
really specific to each arch and used only by rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled().
So they can be moved in .c and be more specific (leaf/subleaf is unused
for some archs).
Then there is no reason to keep rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled() inline.
