[Xenial][SRU][PATCH 2/2] UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86/cpu: Add workaround for MONITOR instruction erratum on Goldmont based CPUs

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606147
Monitored cached line may not wake up from mwait on certain
Goldmont based CPUs. This patch will avoid calling
current_set_polling_and_test() and thereby not set the TIF_ flag.
The result is that we'll always send IPIs for wakeups.
