x86/fred: Add a fred= cmdline param

Let command line option "fred" accept multiple options to make it
easier to tweak its behavior.

Currently, two options 'on' and 'off' are allowed, and the default
behavior is to disable FRED. To enable FRED, append "fred=on" to the
kernel command line.

  [ bp: Use cpu_feature_enabled(), touch ups. ]
