Disable TSX on some Haswell processors.
Patch disables Intel TSX on some Haswell processors to avoid TSX on kernels that weren't updated with the latest microcode package (which disables broken feature by default). * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (get_common_indeces): Add stepping identification. (init_cpu_features): Add handle of Haswell.
