x86, boot: Fix word-size assumptions in has_eflag() inline asm

Commit dd78b97367bd575918204cc89107c1479d3fc1a7 ("x86, boot: Move CPU
flags out of cpucheck") introduced ambiguous inline asm in the
has_eflag() function. We want the instruction to be 'pushfl', but we
just say 'pushf' and hope the compiler does what we wanted.

When building with 'clang -m16', it won't, because clang doesn't use
the horrid '.code16gcc' hack that even 'gcc -m16' uses internally.

Say what we mean and don't make the compiler make assumptions.

[ hpa: we use plain "pushf" in the equivalent code elsewhere which may
  be compiled as either 32- or 64-bit code.  In those cases we want
  the assembler to pick the appropriate size for us.  However, this is
  *16-bit* code and we still need these to be 32-bit operations. ]
