x86: Fix earlyprintk=dbgp for machines without NX

Browse Source 
Since parse_early_param() may (e.g. for earlyprintk=dbgp)
involve calls to page table manipulation functions (here
set_fixmap_nocache()), NX hardware support must be determined
before calling that function (so that __supported_pte_mask gets
properly set up).

But the call after parse_early_param() can also not go away, as
that will honor eventual command line specified disabling of
the NX functionality.

( This will then just result in whatever mappings got
  established during parse_early_param() having the NX bit set
  despite it being disabled on the command line, but I think
  that's tolerable).
