x86/AMD: Do not enable ARAT feature on AMD processors below family 0x12

Determining whether an AMD processor is affected by erratum 400 may
have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat
complicated.
In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT support on processor
families below 0x12.
