x86/asm: Rewrite sync_core() to use IRET-to-self

x86/asm: Rewrite sync_core() to use IRET-to-self

Aside from being excessively slow, CPUID is problematic: Linux runs
on a handful of CPUs that don't have CPUID.  Use IRET-to-self
instead.  IRET-to-self works everywhere, so it makes testing easy.

For reference, On my laptop, IRET-to-self is ~110ns,
CPUID(eax=1, ecx=0) is ~83ns on native and very very slow under KVM,
and MOV-to-CR2 is ~42ns.

While we're at it: sync_core() serves a very specific purpose.
Document it.
