x86/cpu: Use cpu_feature_enabled() when checking global pages support

X86_FEATURE_PGE determines whether the CPU has enabled global page
translations support. Use the faster cpu_feature_enabled() check to
shave off some more cycles when flushing all TLB entries, including the
global ones.

What this practically saves is:

   mov    0x82eb308(%rip),%rax        # 0xffffffff8935bec8 <boot_cpu_data+40>
   test   $0x20,%ah

... which test the bit. Not a lot, but TLB flushing is a timing-sensitive
path, so anything to make it even faster.

No functional changes.
