x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware
During early init, we would incorrectly set the NX bit even if the NX feature was not supported. Instead, only set this bit if NX is actually available and enabled. We already do very early detection of the NX bit to enable it in EFER, this simply extends this detection to the early page table mask.
