722fa0dba7 x86/rfds: Exclude P-only parts from the RFDS affected list
The affected CPU table (cpu_vuln_blacklist) marks Alderlake and Raptorlake
P-only parts affected by RFDS. This is not true because only E-cores are
affected by RFDS. With the current family/model matching it is not possible
to differentiate the unaffected parts, as the affected and unaffected
hybrid variants have the same model number.

Add a cpu-type match as well for such parts so as to exclude P-only parts
being marked as affected.

Note, family/model and cpu-type enumeration could be inaccurate in
virtualized environments. In a guest affected status is decided by RFDS_NO
and RFDS_CLEAR bits exposed by VMMs.
