x86/boot: Move x86_cache_alignment initialization to correct spot

Browse source

c->x86_cache_alignment is initialized from c->x86_clflush_size.
However, commit fbf6449f84 moved c->x86_clflush_size initialization
to later in boot without moving the c->x86_cache_alignment assignment:

  fbf6449f84 ("x86/sev-es: Set x86_virt_bits to the correct value straight away, instead of a two-phase approach")

This presumably left c->x86_cache_alignment set to zero for longer
than it should be.

The result was an oops on 32-bit kernels while accessing a pointer
at 0x20.  The 0x20 came from accessing a structure member at offset
0x10 (buffer->cpumask) from a ZERO_SIZE_PTR=0x10.  kmalloc() can
evidently return ZERO_SIZE_PTR when it's given 0 as its alignment
requirement.

Move the c->x86_cache_alignment initialization to be after
c->x86_clflush_size has an actual value.

Fixes: fbf6449f84 ("x86/sev-es: Set x86_virt_bits to the correct value straight away, instead of a two-phase approach")
