Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] x86/fpu: Fix CPUID-less FPU detection

The old code didn't work at all because it adjusted the current caps
instead of the forced caps.  Anything it did would be undone later
during cpu identification.  Fix that and, while we're at it, improve
the logging and don't bother running it if CPUID is available.
