x86, fpu: enable eagerfpu by default for xsaveopt

Browse Source 
xsaveopt/xrstor support optimized state save/restore by tracking the
INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch.

Enable eagerfpu by default for processors supporting xsaveopt.
Can be disabled by passing "eagerfpu=off" boot parameter.
