x86, cpuinfo remove cpu_data x86_model_id trailing whitespace

When comparing 'model name' fields in /proc/cpuinfo it was noticed that a simple test comparing the model name fields was failing. After some simple investigation it was noticed that, in fact, the model name fields are different for each processor. Processor 0's model name field had white space removed, while the other processors did not.

Another way of seeing this behaviour is to convert spaces into underscores in the output of /proc/cpuinfo,

[thetango@prarit ~]# grep "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c | sed 's/\ /_/g'
______1_model_name :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272
_____63_model_name :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272_________________

which shows two different model name fields even though they should be the same.

This occurs because the kernel calls strim() on cpu 0's x86_model_id field to output a pretty message to the console in print_cpu_info(), and as a result truncates the whitespace at the end of the x86_model_id field.

The x86_model_id field should be the same for the same processors. This patch removes traliing space on every processor's x86_model_id field to make them consistent and maintains the correct output for print_cpu_info():

smpboot: CPU0: AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6272 (fam: 15, model: 01, stepping: 02)

The x86_model_id field is correct and has no whitespace across all processors:

[thetango@prarit ~]# grep "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c | sed 's/\ /_/g'
_____64_model_name :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272
