x86/boot: Fix another __read_cr4() case on 486



The condition for reading CR4 was wrong: there are some CPUs with
CPUID but not CR4.  Rather than trying to make the condition exact,
use __read_cr4_safe().

Fixes: 18bc7bd5 ("x86/boot: Synchronize trampoline_cr4_features and mmu_cr4_features directly")
