RFR [XS] 8041957: -XX:UseAVX=0 cause assert(UseAVX) failed

[Christian Thalinger]

This is tricky.  Changing the assert means that we cannot catch the case where we were asked to not use AVX but we do.  Maybe we should enable AVX instruction temporarily by using:

FlagSetting avx(UseAVX, 99);

in generate_get_cpu_info() to be able to generate the instructions.
