x86/cpufeatures: Free up unused feature bits
Linux defined feature bits X86_FEATURE_P3 and X86_FEATURE_P4 are not used anywhere. Commit f31d731e4467 ("x86: use X86_FEATURE_NOPL in alternatives") got rid of the last usage in 2008. Remove the related mappings and code. Just like all X86_FEATURE bits, the raw bit numbers can be exposed to userspace via MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). There is a very small theoretical chance of userspace getting confused if these bits got reassigned and changed logical meaning. But these bits were never used for a device table, so it's highly unlikely this will ever happen in practice.
