When I see again, using cpu_feature_enabled(), this would give a chance
to optimisation when the feature disabled and there would be no harm for
when feature enabled since cpu_feature_enabbled() also fallback to
boot_cpu_has().

So, it might be good to change with cpu_feature_enabled() as we
discussed.

@Dave, Should I send above change separately or include it in this patch?
