x86/ACPI/cstate: Allow ACPI C1 FFH MWAIT use on AMD systems

Browse Source 
AMD systems support the Monitor/Mwait instructions and these can be used
for ACPI C1 in the same way as on Intel systems.

Three things are needed:
 1) This patch.
 2) BIOS that declares a C1 state in _CST to use FFH, with correct values.
 3) CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is non-zero on the system.

The BIOS on AMD systems have historically not defined a C1 state in _CST,
so the acpi_idle driver uses HALT for ACPI C1.

Currently released systems have CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX as reserved/RAZ. If a
BIOS is released for these systems that requests a C1 state with FFH, the
FFH implementation in Linux will fail since CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is 0. The
acpi_idle driver will then fallback to using HALT for ACPI C1.

Future systems are expected to have non-zero CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX and BIOS
support for using FFH for ACPI C1.

Allow ffh_cstate_init() to succeed on AMD systems.

Tested on Fam15h and Fam17h systems.
