[PATCH v4 4/6] x86/boot: Set 5-level paging CPU cap before entering C code

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

In order for pgtable_l5_enabled() to be reliable wherever it is used and
however early, set the associated CPU capability from asm code before
entering the startup C code.
