x86: remove mwait capability C-state check



Vegard Nossum reports:

| powertop shows between 200-400 wakeups/second with the description
| "<kernel IPI>: Rescheduling interrupts" when all processors have load (e.g.
| I need to run two busy-loops on my 2-CPU system for this to show up).
|
| The bisect resulted in this commit:

|
|     x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C states

remove the functional effects of this patch and make mwait unconditional.

A future patch will turn off mwait on specific CPUs where that causes
power to be wasted.
