[PATCH v4 26/29] x86/cacheinfo: Extract out cache self-snoop checks

"Ahmed S. Darwish" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.x86-cpuid,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The logic of not doing a cache flush if the CPU declares cache self
snooping support is repeated across the x86/cacheinfo code.  Extract it
into its own function.
