Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] x86/fpu: Add a helper to prepare AMX state for low-power CPU idle

When a CPU enters an idle state, non-initialized states left in large
registers may be the cause of preventing deeper low-power states.

The new helper ensures the AMX state is initialized to make the CPU
ready for low-power states. It will be used by the intel idle driver.

Changes from v2:
* Check the feature flag instead of fpu_state_size_dynamic() (Dave Hansen).

Changes from v1:
* Check the dynamic state flag first, to avoid #UD with XGETBV(1).
