x86/fpu: Fix FPU related boot regression when CPUID masking BIOS feature is enabled
Mike Galbraith reported:
" My i7-4790 box is having one hell of a time with this merge
window, dead in the water.
BIOS setting "Limit CPUID Maximum" upsets new fpu code
mightily. "
It turns out that Linux does a double workaround here, as per:
066941bd4eeb ("x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs")
it undoes the BIOS workaround - but as a side effect the CPUID
state is not completely constant during early init anymore,
and the new FPU init code did not take this into account.
So what happened is that the xstate init code did not have full
CPUID available, which broke subsequent attempts to use xstate
features.
Fix this by ordering the early FPU init code to after we've
stabilized the CPUID state.
