hwmon: (coretemp) Let the user force TjMax

Browse Source 
On old CPUs (and even some recent Atom CPUs) TjMax can't be read from
the CPU registers, so it is guessed by the driver using a complex
heuristic which isn't reliable. So let users who know their CPU's
TjMax pass it as a module parameter.

The TjMax temperature is set to 85 degrees C if undocumented model specific
register (UMSR) 0xee has bit 30 set. If not the TjMax is 100 degrees C as
(sometimes) documented in processor datasheet.
On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register.
On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics.
If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value
as a module parameter (tjmax).
