hwmon: (coretemp) Extend the bitmask to read temperature to 0xff

Browse Source 
The Intel Software Development manual defines the temperature digital
readout as the bits [22:16] of the IA32_[PACKAGE]_THERM_STATUS registers.
Bit 23 is specified as reserved.

In recent processors, however, the temperature digital readout uses bits
[23:16]. In those processors, using the bitmask 0x7f would lead to
incorrect readings if the temperature deviates from TjMax by more than
127 degrees Celsius.

Although not guaranteed, bit 23 is likely to be 0 in processors from a few
generations ago. The temperature reading would still be correct in those
processors when using a 0xff bitmask.

Model-specific provisions can be made for older processors in which bit 23
is not 0 should the need arise.
