x86/cpu: Inline generic_identify() into identify_cpu()

generic_identify() has exactly one call site: at the top of
identify_cpu(). Fold it into identify_cpu() so that a single function
does the job for both the boot CPU and the secondary CPUs.

While at it, fix up both copies of the Cyrix comment.

No functional changes.
