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.
