x86: Fix oops in identify_cpu() on CPUs without CPUID

Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It
crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu():

766        generic_identify(c);
767
768-->     if (this_cpu->c_identify)
769               this_cpu->c_identify(c);

this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in
get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has
no CPUID instruction.
