x86: Fix oops in identify_cpu() on CPUs without CPUID
Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu(): 766 generic_identify(c); 767 768--> if (this_cpu->c_identify) 769 this_cpu->c_identify(c); this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has no CPUID instruction.
