x86: Fix earlyprintk=dbgp for machines without NX
Since parse_early_param() may (e.g. for earlyprintk=dbgp) involve calls to page table manipulation functions (here set_fixmap_nocache()), NX hardware support must be determined before calling that function (so that __supported_pte_mask gets properly set up). But the call after parse_early_param() can also not go away, as that will honor eventual command line specified disabling of the NX functionality. ( This will then just result in whatever mappings got established during parse_early_param() having the NX bit set despite it being disabled on the command line, but I think that's tolerable).
