  Reset the classification history of the current task when switching to the
next task. Hardware will start the classification of the next task from
scratch.

Changes since v1:
 * Measurements of the cost of the HRESET instruction

   Methodology:
   I created a tight loop with interrupts and preemption disabled. I
   recorded the value of the TSC counter before and after executing
   HRESET or RDTSC. I repeated the measurement 100,000 times.
   I performed the experiment using an Alder Lake S system. I set the
   frequency of the CPUs at a fixed value.

   The table below compares the cost of HRESET with RDTSC (expressed in
   the elapsed TSC count). The cost of the two instructions is
   comparable.

                              PCore      ECore
        Frequency (GHz)        5.0        3.8
        HRESET (avg)          28.5       44.7
        HRESET (stdev %)       3.6        2.3
        RDTSC  (avg)          25.2       35.7
        RDTSC  (stdev %)       3.9        2.6

 * Used an ALTERNATIVE macro instead of static_cpu_has() to execute HRESET
   when supported. (PeterZ)

+ * HRESET - History reset. Available since binutils v2.36.
+ *
+ * Request the processor to reset the history of task classification on the

+ * reset are specified in %eax. Only bits specified in CPUID(0x20).EBX
+ * and enabled in the IA32_HRESET_ENABLE MSR can be selected.

+ *
+ * The corresponding machine code looks like:

+ *	F3 0F 3A F0 ModRM Imm
+ *
+ * The value of ModRM is 0xc0 to specify %eax register addressing.
+ * The ignored immediate operand is set to 0.
+ *
+ * The instruction is documented in the Intel SDM.
