We don't need to add UBSAN calltrace, so I have merged the patch with another
patch("x86/cpu: replacing the open-coded shift with BIT(x)"), please ignore
this patch,thanks for review this patch!

Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing
significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c:948:21
left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
Is it really? Shouldn't -fstrict-overflow define this case?
-fno-strict-overflow that is, which implies -fwrapv which ensures 2s
complement, at which point shifting signed numbers is fully defined.
