x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable AVX support.

The Task Switched bit used for lazy context switching does not
support AVX. If AVX is enabled without eagerfpu context
switching, one task's AVX state could become corrupted or leak
to other tasks. This is a bug and has bad security implications.

This only affects systems that have AVX/AVX2/AVX512 and this
issue will be found only when one actually uses AVX/AVX2/AVX512
_AND_ does eagerfpu=off.

Reference: Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A

Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the
x87 FPU/ MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch
to be delayed until an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4
instruction is actually executed by the new task.

Sec. 13.4.1 Using the TS Flag to Control the Saving of the X87
FPU and SSE State
When the TS flag is set, the processor monitors the instruction
stream for x87 FPU, MMX, SSE instructions. When the processor
detects one of these instructions, it raises a
device-not-available exeception (#NM) prior to executing the
instruction.
