Subject: [PATCHv3 23/32] x86/boot: Set CR0.NE early and keep it set during the boot

TDX guest requires CR0.NE to be set. Clearing the bit triggers #GP(0).

If CR0.NE is 0, the MS-DOS compatibility mode for handling floating-point
exceptions is selected. In this mode, the software exception handler for
floating-point exceptions is invoked externally using the processor’s
FERR#, INTR, and IGNNE# pins.

Using FERR# and IGNNE# to handle floating-point exception is deprecated.
CR0.NE=0 also limits newer processors to operate with one logical
processor active.

Kernel uses CR0_STATE constant to initialize CR0. It has NE bit set.
But during early boot kernel has more ad-hoc approach to setting bit
in the register.

Make CR0 initialization consistent, deriving the initial value of CR0
from CR0_STATE.
