[PATCH 3.14 18/79] Use WARN_ON_ONCE for missing X86_FEATURE_NRIPS

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Dirk=20M=C3=BCller?= <dmueller@xxxxxxxx>

commit d2922422c48df93f3edff7d872ee4f3191fefb08 upstream.

The cpu feature flags are not ever going to change, so warning
everytime can cause a lot of kernel log spam
(in our case more than 10GB/hour).

The warning seems to only occur when nested virtualization is
enabled, so it's probably triggered by a KVM bug.  This is a
sensible and safe change anyway, and the KVM bug fix might not
be suitable for stable releases anyway.
