This issue is a fallout from the command-line parsing move.

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable MPX support. The decision for turning off MPX was
made in fpu__init_system_ctx_switch(), which is after the
selection of the XSAVE format. This patch fixes it by getting
that decision done earlier in fpu__init_system_xstate().
