x86: move ZMM exclusion list into CPU feature flag
Lift zmm_exclusion_list in aesni-intel_glue.c into the x86 CPU setup
code, and add a new x86 CPU feature flag X86_FEATURE_PREFER_YMM that is
set when the CPU is on this list.
This allows other code in arch/x86/, such as the CRC library code, to
apply the same exclusion list when deciding whether to execute 256-bit
or 512-bit optimized functions.
Note that full AVX512 support including ZMM registers is still exposed
to userspace and is still supported for in-kernel use. This flag just
indicates whether in-kernel code should prefer to use YMM registers.
