x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code

Jan Kara and Thomas Gleixner reported boot crashes in the FPU
code:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
  RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81048a6c>]  [<ffffffff81048a6c>] mxcsr_feature_mask_init+0x1c/0x40

  2b:*  0f ae 85 00 fe ff ff    fxsave -0x200(%rbp)

and bisected it down to the following FPU commit:

   91a8c2a5b43f ("x86/fpu: Clean up and fix MXCSR handling")

The reason is that the on-stack FPU registers state variable,
used by the FXSAVE instruction, did not have the required
minimum alignment of 16 bytes, causing the general protection
fault.

This is most likely a GCC bug in older GCC versions, but the
offending commit also added a bogus extra 32-byte alignment
(which GCC ignored too).

So fix this bug by making the variable static again, but also
mark it __initdata this time, because fpu__init_system_mxcsr()
is now an __init function.
