[PATCH v3] x86/cpufeatures: Make X86_FEATURE_SHSTK clearcpuid-able

[Mathias Krause]

Allow X86_FEATURE_SHST to be disabled through the kernel commandline via
'clearcpuid=shstk' as 'nousershstk' would still enable CR4.CET even if
no CET features are in use.

This, in combination with disabling IBT as well, e.g. via
'clearcpuid=shstk,ibt' allows to fully disable CR4.CET enabling on
capable hardware, which in turn allows debugging CET-related issues
during early boot.

v3:
- switch to clearcpuid-based approach
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260402173606.1096172-1-minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
