x86/cpu: Update x86_match_cpu() to also use cpu-type

Non-hybrid CPU variants that share the same Family/Model could be
differentiated by their cpu-type. x86_match_cpu() currently does not use
cpu-type for CPU matching.

Dave Hansen suggested to use below conditions to match CPU-type:

  1. If CPU_TYPE_ANY (the wildcard), then matched
  2. If hybrid, then matched
  3. If !hybrid, look at the boot CPU and compare the cpu-type to determine
     if it is a match.

  This special case for hybrid systems allows more compact vulnerability
  list.  Imagine that "Haswell" CPUs might or might not be hybrid and that
  only Atom cores are vulnerable to Meltdown.  That means there are three
  possibilities:

  	1. P-core only
  	2. Atom only
  	3. Atom + P-core (aka. hybrid)

  One might be tempted to code up the vulnerability list like this:

  	MATCH(     HASWELL, X86_FEATURE_HYBRID, MELTDOWN)
  	MATCH_TYPE(HASWELL, ATOM,               MELTDOWN)

  Logically, this matches #2 and #3. But that's a little silly. You would
  only ask for the "ATOM" match in cases where there *WERE* hybrid cores in
  play. You shouldn't have to _also_ ask for hybrid cores explicitly.

  In short, assume that processors that enumerate Hybrid==1 have a
  vulnerable core type.

Update x86_match_cpu() to also match cpu-type. Also treat hybrid systems as
special, and match them to any cpu-type.
