    x86: c_p_a clflush_cache_range fix
    
    Because in i386 early boot stage, boot_cpu_data may be not available,
    which makes clflush_cach_range() into infinite loop, which is called
    by change_page_attr(). This patch fixes this by setting
    boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size in early_cpu_detect().
