x86/boot: Move x86_cache_alignment initialization to correct spot
jira roc-2673 commit 3e32552 c->x86_cache_alignment is initialized from c->x86_clflush_size. However, commit fbf6449 moved c->x86_clflush_size initialization to later in boot without moving the c->x86_cache_alignment assignment: fbf6449 ("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.
