intel/skylake: add function is_secondary_thread()
There are MSRs that are programmable per-core not per-thread, so add a function to check whether current executing CPU is a primary core or a "hyperthreaded"/secondary core. For instance when trying to program Core PRMRR MSRs(per-core) with mp_init, cpu exception is thrown from the secondary thread. This function was used to avoid that. Potentially this function can be put to common code or arch/x86 or cpu/x86. BUG=chrome-os-partner:62438 BRANCH=NONE TEST=Tested on Eve, verified core PRMRR MSRs get programmed only on primary thread avoiding exeception.
