x86/bugs: Cache the value of MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES
There's no need to keep reading MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES over and over. It's even read in the BHI sysfs function which is a big no-no. Just read it once and cache it.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
