x86/bugs: Add "unknown" reporting for MMIO Stale Data

commit 7df54884 upstream.

Older Intel CPUs that are not in the affected processor list for MMIO
Stale Data vulnerabilities currently report "Not affected" in sysfs,
which may not be correct. Vulnerability status for these older CPUs is
unknown.

Add known-not-affected CPUs to the whitelist. Report "unknown"
mitigation status for CPUs that are not in blacklist, whitelist and also
don't enumerate MSR ARCH_CAPABILITIES bits that reflect hardware
immunity to MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.

Mitigation is not deployed when the status is unknown.

  [ bp: Massage, fixup. ]

Fixes: 8d50cdf8
