x86/traps: Move traps_init() earlier on boot

We wish to make use of opt_fred earlier on boot, which involves moving
traps_init() earlier, but this comes with several ordering complications.

The feature word containing FRED needs collecting in early_cpu_init(), and
legacy_syscall_init() cannot be moved that early because it relies on the
stubs being allocated, yet must be called ahead of cpu_init() so the SYSCALL
linkage MSRs are set up before being cached.

Delaying legacy_syscall_init() is easy enough based on a system_state check.
Reuse bsp_traps_reinit() to cause a call to legacy_syscall_init() to occur at
the same point as previously.
