platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add an entry rendezvous for SAF
The activation for Scan at Field (SAF) includes a parameter to make
microcode wait for both threads to join. It's preferable to perform an
entry rendezvous before the activation to ensure that they start the
`wrmsr` close enough to each other. In some cases it has been observed
that one of the threads might be just a bit late to arrive. An entry
rendezvous reduces the likelihood of these cases occurring.

Add an entry rendezvous to ensure the activation on both threads happen
close enough to each other.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
