x86/build: Fix detection of GCC -mpreferred-stack-boundary support

As per:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383

GCC only allows -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 on x86_64 if -mno-sse is set.
That means that cc-option will not detect -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3
support, because we test for it before setting -mno-sse.

Fix it by reordering the Makefile bits.

Compile-tested only. This should help avoid code generation
issues such as the one that was worked around in:

b96fecbfa8c8 ("x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code")

I'm a bit concerned that we could still have problems on older
GCC versions given that our asm code does not respect GCC's idea
of the ABI-required stack alignment.
