    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.
