Users cannot disable multiple CPU features with the kernel parameter
clearcpuid=. For example, "clearcpuid=154 clearcpuid=227" only disables
CPUID bit 154.
Previous to commit 0c2a3913d6f5 ("x86/fpu: Parse clearcpuid= as early XSAVE
argument") it was possible to pass multiple clearcpuid options as kernel
parameters using individual entries. With the new code it isn't easy to
replicate exactly that behaviour but a comma separated list can be easily
implemented, eg) "clearcpuid=154,227"
Make the clearcpuid parse a comma-separated list of values instead of only
a single value.
