[committed] libitm: Disable TSX on processors on which it may be broken.

[Torvald Riegel]

This fix follows the same approach that glibc uses to disable TSX on
processors on which it is broken.  TSX can also be disabled through a
microcode update on these processors, but glibc consensus is that it
cannot be detected reliably whether the microcode update has been
applied.  Thus, we just look for affected models/steppings.

Tested on x86_64-linux (but I don't have a machine with broken TSX
available).
