x86/asm: Fix MWAITX C-state hint value
As per "AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 3: General-Purpose
and System Instructions", MWAITX EAX[7:4]+1 specifies the optional hint
of the optimized C-state. For C0 state, EAX[7:4] should be set to 0xf.
Currently, a value of 0xf is set for EAX[3:0] instead of EAX[7:4]. Fix
this by changing MWAITX_DISABLE_CSTATES from 0xf to 0xf0.
This hasn't had any implications so far because setting reserved bits in
EAX is simply ignored by the CPU.
[ bp: Fixup comment in delay_mwaitx() and massage. ]
