x86/cpu/AMD: Make LFENCE a serializing instruction
CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre v1 Intel -> upstream) BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754375 commit e4d0e84e upstream. To aid in speculation control, make LFENCE a serializing instruction since it has less overhead than MFENCE. This is done by setting bit 1 of MSR 0xc0011029 (DE_CFG). Some families that support LFENCE do not have this MSR. For these families, the LFENCE instruction is already serializing.
