By force-enabling the WAITPKG bit whenever -overcommit cpu-pm=on is used,
commit 67192a298f ("x86/cpu: Add support for UMONITOR/UMWAIT/TPAUSE",
2019-10-23) broke that option is the host processor does not have
WAITPKG or the host kernel is too old. This is because TPAUSE, UMWAIT
and UMONITOR are not NOPs on older processors (though perhaps they should
have been!).
