x86/fpu, crypto x86/camellia_aesni_avx: Simplify the camellia_aesni_init() xfeature checks
Use the new 'cpu_has_xfeatures()' function to query AVX CPU support. This has the following advantages to the driver: - Decouples the driver from FPU internals: it's now only using <asm/fpu/api.h>. - Removes detection complexity from the driver, no more raw XGETBV instruction - Shrinks the code a bit: text data bss dec hex filename 2128 2896 0 5024 13a0 camellia_aesni_avx_glue.o.before 2067 2896 0 4963 1363 camellia_aesni_avx_glue.o.after - Standardizes feature name error message printouts across drivers There are also advantages to the x86 FPU code: once all drivers are decoupled from internals we can move them out of common headers and we'll also be able to remove xcr.h.
