Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] x86/fpu: Add a helper to prepare AMX state for low-power CPU idle

When a CPU enters an idle state, a non-initialized AMX register state may
be the cause of preventing a deeper low-power state. Other extended
register states whether initialized or not do not impact the CPU idle
state.

The new helper can ensure the AMX state is initialized before the CPU is
idle, and it will be used by the intel idle driver.

Check the AMX_TILE feature bit before using XGETBV1 as a chain of
dependencies was established via cpuid_deps[]: AMX->XFD->XGETBV1.

Changes from v4:
* Switch to check the AMX_TILE flag instead XGETBV1 (Dave Hansen).
* Massage the changelog.

Changes from v3:
* Call out AMX state in changelog (Thomas Glexiner).

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).
