[Devel] [PATCH vz8 v2 1/2] x86, cpuinfo: Fix race on parallel /proc/cpuinfo read

If several threads read /proc/cpuinfo some can see in 'flags'
values from c->x86_capability, before __do_cpuid_fault() called
and masks applied. Fix this by forming 'flags' on stack first
and copy them in per_cpu(cpu_flags, cpu) as a last step.
