x86: make restore_fpu() use alternative assembler instructions 

It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
function that queries FXSR dynamically.

This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
correct one at boot-time.
