Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Get rid of CONFIG_AS_FXSAVEQ

One more cleanup resulting from me staring at bigeasy's FPU patchset.
I've tested building this in an old debian guest which has binutils 2.22
and gcc 4.6, the last being the oldest gcc we support.

echo "fxsaveq (%rax)" | gcc -c -x assembler -o /tmp/t.o -

with gas 2.20 works too, 2.20 being the minimum binutils version we require in
Documentation/process/changes.rst

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

This was a "workaround" to probe for binutils which could generate
FXSAVEQ, apparently gas with min version 2.16. In the meantime, minimal
required gas version is 2.20 so all those workarounds for older binutils
can be dropped.
