    x86/CPU/AMD: Disable INVLPGB on Zen2

    AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an issue
    that causes system oopses and panics when performing TLB flush using
    INVLPGB.

    However, the problem is that that machine has misconfigured CPUID and
    should not report the INVLPGB bit in the first place. So zap the
    kernel’s representation of the flag so that nothing gets confused.
