Subject: x86/cpu: Probe CPUID leaf 6 even when cpuid_level == 6

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 3df8d9208569ef0b2313e516566222d745f3b94b upstream.

A typo (or mis-merge?) resulted in leaf 6 only being probed if
cpuid_level >= 7.

Fixes: 2ccd71f1b278 ("x86/cpufeature: Move some of the scattered feature bits to x86_capability")
