x86/cpu: Warn louder about the {set,clear}cpuid boot parameters
Commit 814165e9fd1f6 ("x86/cpu: Add the 'setcpuid=' boot parameter")
recently expanded the user's ability to break their system horribly by
overriding effective CPU flags. This was reflected with updates to the
documentation to try and make people aware that this is dangerous.
To further reduce the risk of users mistaking this for a "real feature",
and try to help them figure out why their kernel is tainted if they do
use it:
- Upgrade the existing printk to pr_warn, to help ensure kernel logs
reflect what changes are in effect.
- Print an extra warning that tries to be as dramatic as possible, while
also highlighting the fact that it tainted the kernel.
