Subject: [PATCH v6 05/25] x86/fpu/xstate: Remove kernel dynamic xfeatures from kernel default_features

The kernel dynamic xfeatures are supported by host, i.e., they're enabled
in xsaves/xrstors operating xfeature set (XCR0 | XSS), but the corresponding
CPU features are disabled for the time-being in host kernel so the bits are
not necessarily set by default.

Remove the bits from fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features so that the bits in
xstate_bv and xcomp_bv are cleared and xsaves/xrstors can be optimized by HW
for normal fpstate.
