x86/cpu: Use INVPCID mnemonic in invpcid.h



The current minimum required version of binutils is 2.23, which supports
the INVPCID instruction mnemonic. Replace the byte-wise specification of
INVPCID with the proper mnemonic.

 [ bp: Add symbolic operand names for increased readability and flip
   their order like the insn expects them for the AT&T syntax. ]
