x86/alternatives, x86/fpu: Add 'alternatives_patched' debug flag and use it in xsave_state()

We'd like to use xsave_state() earlier, but its SYSTEM_BOOTING check
is too imprecise.

The real condition that xsave_state() would like to check is whether
alternative XSAVE instructions were patched into the kernel image
already.

Add such a (read-mostly) debug flag and use it in xsave_state().
