x86/build: Clean up stack alignment flags in CC_FLAGS_FPU
The minimum supported version of GCC to build the x86 kernel was bumped to GCC 8.1 in a3e8fe814ad1 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1"). Prior to GCC 7.1, '-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3' was not allowed with '-msse', so areas of the kernel that needed floating point had a different alignment. Now that GCC > 7.1 is mandatory, there is no need to have a different value of '-mpreferred-stack-boundary' from the rest of the kernel, so remove this handling from CC_FLAGS_FPU.
