x86, xsave: Use xsaveopt in context-switch path when supported
xsaveopt is a more optimized form of xsave specifically designed
for the context switch usage. xsaveopt doesn't save the state that's not
modified from the prior xrstor. And if a specific feature state gets
modified to the init state, then xsaveopt just updates the header bit
in the xsave memory layout without updating the corresponding memory
layout.
