x86/CPU: Change query logic so CPUID is enabled before testing

Presently we check first if CPUID is enabled. If it is not already
enabled, then we next call identify_cpu_without_cpuid() and clear
X86_FEATURE_CPUID.

Unfortunately, identify_cpu_without_cpuid() is the function where CPUID
becomes _enabled_ on Cyrix 6x86/6x86L CPUs.

Reverse the calling sequence so that CPUID is first enabled, and then
check a second time to see if the feature has now been activated.

[ bp: Massage commit message and remove trailing whitespace. ]
