x86: Fix Haswell strong flags (BZ#23709)
Th commit 'Disable TSX on some Haswell processors.' (2702856bf4) changed the
default flags for Haswell models. Previously, new models were handled by the
default switch path, which assumed a Core i3/i5/i7 if AVX is available. After
the patch, Haswell models (0x3f, 0x3c, 0x45, 0x46) do not set the flags
Fast_Rep_String, Fast_Unaligned_Load, Fast_Unaligned_Copy, and
Prefer_PMINUB_for_stringop (only the TSX one).
This patch fixes it by disentangle the TSX flag handling from the memory
optimization ones. The strstr case cited on patch now selects the
__strstr_sse2_unaligned as expected for the Haswell cpu.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
[BZ #23709]
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set TSX bits
independently of other flags.
