4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> commit d12a72b844a49d4162f24cefdab30bed3f86730e upstream. This adds a chicken bit to turn off INVPCID in case something goes wrong. It's an early_param() because we do TLB flushes before we parse __setup() parameters.
