x86, fpu: Use static_cpu_has_safe before alternatives

Browse source 
The call stack below shows how this happens: basically eager_fpu_init()
calls __thread_fpu_begin(current) which then does if (!use_eager_fpu()),
which, in turn, uses static_cpu_has.

And we're executing before alternatives so static_cpu_has doesn't work
there yet.

Use the safe variant in this path which becomes optimal after
alternatives have run.
