x86/fpu, crypto x86/serpent_avx: Simplify the serpent_init() xfeature checks



Use the new 'cpu_has_xfeatures()' function to query AVX CPU support.

This has the following advantages to the driver:

 - Decouples the driver from FPU internals: it's now only using <asm/fpu/api.h>.

 - Removes detection complexity from the driver, no more raw XGETBV instruction

 - Shrinks the code a bit.

 - Standardizes feature name error message printouts across drivers

There are also advantages to the x86 FPU code: once all drivers
are decoupled from internals we can move them out of common
headers and we'll also be able to remove xcr.h.
