Hypercall detection is failing with xen_hypercall_intel() chosen even on
an AMD processor.  Looking at the disassembly, the call to
xen_get_vendor() was removed.

The check for boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_CPUID) was used as a proxy for
the x86_vendor having been set.  When
CONFIG_X86_REQUIRED_FEATURE_CPUID=y (the default value), DCE eliminates
the call to xen_get_vendor().  An uninitialized value 0 means
X86_VENDOR_INTEL, so the Intel function is always returned.

Remove the if and always call xen_get_vendor() to avoid this issue.

Fixes: 3d37d9396eb3 ("x86/cpufeatures: Add {REQUIRED,DISABLED} feature configs")

I think the Fixes is correct in that it default enables requiring the
feature.  There were a lot of other changes to how headers were
generated as well.
