x86/amd: Use setup_force_cpu_cap() for BTC_NO
A XenServer feature in the process of being upstreamed is to be able to
re-calculate the guest CPU Policies at runtime, e.g. after a microcode load
and/or livepatch to expose new functionality. Right now, upstream Xen only
rescans the Raw CPU Policy on microcode load.
One complication with recalculating the guest policies is that BTC_NO is
handled differently to other $FOO_NO bits, by using __set_bit() rather than
setup_force_cpu_cap().
For consistency, switch it to using setup_force_cpu_cap(). This doesn't
matter for upstream Xen right now, but it will ease upstreaming the feature.
