x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement
The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
available. Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
the available of NX.
This patch:
a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left
to the head code.
b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely. Things that need to
test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.
