x86-64: Use _dl_runtime_resolve_opt only with AVX512F [BZ #21871] hjl/xgetbv/2.25
On AVX machines with XGETBV (ECX == 1) like Skylake processors,

since xgetbv takes much more cycles than single cycle operations like
vpord/vvpcmpeq/ptest.  _dl_runtime_resolve_opt should be used only with
AVX512 where AVX512 instructions lead to lower CPU frequency on Skylake
server.

	[BZ #21871]
	* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set
	bit_arch_Use_dl_runtime_resolve_opt only with AVX512F.
