Subject: x86/mm/32: Move setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PCID) earlier

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit b8b7abaed7a49b350f8ba659ddc264b04931d581 upstream.

Otherwise we might have the PCID feature bit set during cpu_init().

This is just for robustness.  I haven't seen any actual bugs here.
