x86/boot: Remove x86_32 PIC using %ebx workaround

The currently supported minimum gcc version is 5.1. Before that, the
PIC register, when generating Position Independent Code, was considered
"fixed" in the sense that it wasn't in the set of registers available to
the compiler's register allocator. Which, on x86-32, is already a very
small set.

What is more, the register allocator was unable to satisfy extended asm
"=b" constraints. (Yes, PIC code uses %ebx on 32-bit as the base reg.)

With gcc 5.1:

"Reuse of the PIC hard register, instead of using a fixed register,
was implemented on x86/x86-64 targets. This improves generated PIC
code performance as more hard registers can be used. Shared libraries
can significantly benefit from this optimization. Currently it is
switched on only for x86/x86-64 targets. As RA infrastructure is already
implemented for PIC register reuse, other targets might follow this in
the future."

  (from: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html)

which basically means that the register allocator has a higher degree
of freedom when handling %ebx, including reloading it with the correct
value before a PIC access.

Furthermore:

  arch/x86/Makefile:
          # Never want PIC in a 32-bit kernel, prevent breakage with GCC built
          # with nonstandard options
          KBUILD_CFLAGS += -fno-pic

  $ gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/x86/boot/.cpuflags.o.d ... -fno-pic ... -D__KBUILD_MODNAME=kmod_cpuflags -c -o arch/x86/boot/cpuflags.o arch/x86/boot/cpuflags.c

so the 32-bit workaround in cpuid_count() is fixing exactly nothing
because 32-bit configs don't even allow PIC builds.

As to 64-bit builds: they're done using -mcmodel=kernel which produces
RIP-relative addressing for PIC builds and thus does not apply here
either.

So get rid of the thing and make cpuid_count() nice and simple.

There should be no functional changes resulting from this.
