x86/fpu, crypto x86/sha1_ssse3: Simplify the sha1_ssse3_mod_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.
- 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.
