x86/cpufeature: Replace X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32
In most cases, the use of "fast 32-bit system call" depends either on
X86_FEATURE_SEP or X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 || X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32.
However, nearly all the logic for both is identical.
Define X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32 which indicates that *either* SYSENTER32 or
SYSCALL32 should be used, for either 32- or 64-bit kernels. This
defaults to SYSENTER; use SYSCALL if the SYSCALL32 bit is also set.
As this removes ALL existing uses of X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32, which is
a kernel-only synthetic feature bit, simply remove it and replace it
with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32.
This leaves an unused alternative for a true 32-bit kernel, but that
should really not matter in any way.
The clearing of X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32 can be removed once the patches
for automatically clearing disabled features has been merged.
