Subject: x86/asm/32: Make sync_core() handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit kernels

From: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]>

commit 1c52d859cb2d417e7216d3e56bb7fea88444cec9 upstream.

We support various non-Intel CPUs that don't have the CPUID instruction, so the M486 test was wrong. For now, fix it with a big
hammer: handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit CPUs.
