The backport dropped the hunk deleting the setup_clear_cpu_cap() for HLE/RTM,
but retained the hunk adding setup_force_cpu_cap().
Calling both force and clear on the same feature elicits an error, and clear
takes precedence, which breaks the part of the bufix which makes migration
from older versions of Xen function safely for VMs using TSX.
