[PATCH 01/67] x86: remove X86_PPRO_FENCE

There were only a few Pentium Pro multiprocessors systems where this
errata applied. They are more than 20 years old now, and we've slowly
dropped places where put the workarounds in and discuraged anyone
from enabling the workaround.

Get rid of it for good.

-	  Enabling this option will attempt to work around some (but not all)

-	  If unsure, say n here. Even distro kernels should think twice before
-	  enabling this: there are few systems, and an unlikely bug.
