arch/x86/smbios: Enhance processor characteristics detection

Browse source 
Improve SMBIOS Type 4 table processor characteristic detection for
following:
PROCESSOR_MULTI_CORE
PROCESSOR_64BIT_CAPABLE
PROCESSOR_ENHANCED_VIRTUALIZATION
PROCESSOR_POWER_PERFORMANCE_CONTROL

Based on following reference:
1. AMD APM 24594 Appendix E (Obtaining Processor Information Via
the CPUID Instruction)
2. Intel SDM 325462 Table 3-17(Information Returned by CPUID
Instruction)

TEST=Build for Glinda SoC & Intel SPR & verified in 'dmidecode -t 4' output.
Sample output:
        Characteristics:
                64-bit capable
                Multi-Core
                Hardware Thread
                Execute Protection
                Enhanced Virtualization
                Power/Performance Control
