x86/mm: Add missing <asm/cpufeatures.h> dependency to <asm/page_64.h>

In the following commit:

  025768a966a3 x86/cpu: Use alternative to generate the TASK_SIZE_MAX constant

... we added the new task_size_max() inline, which uses X86_FEATURE_LA57,
but doesn't include <asm/cpufeatures.h> which defines the constant.

Due to the way alternatives macros work currently this doesn't get reported as an
immediate build error, only as a link error, if a .c file happens to include
<asm/page.h> first:

   > ld: kernel/fork.o:(.altinstructions+0x98): undefined reference to `X86_FEATURE_LA57'

In the current upstream kernel no .c file includes <asm/page.h> before including
some other header that includes <asm/cpufeatures.h>, which is why this dependency
bug went unnoticed.
