Brian Gerst 3adee777ad x86/smpboot: Remove initial_stack on 64-bit

In order to facilitate parallel startup, start to eliminate some of the
global variables passing information to CPUs in the startup path.

However, start by introducing one more: smpboot_control. For now this
merely holds the CPU# of the CPU which is coming up. Each CPU can then
find its own per-cpu data, and everything else it needs can be found
from there, allowing the other global variables to be removed.

First to be removed is initial_stack. Each CPU can load %rsp from its
current_task->thread.sp instead. That is already set up with the correct
idle thread for APs. Set up the .sp field in INIT_THREAD on x86 so that
the BSP also finds a suitable stack pointer in the static per-cpu data
when coming up on first boot.

On resume from S3, the CPU needs a temporary stack because its idle task
is already active. Instead of setting initial_stack, the sleep code can
simply set its own current->thread.sp to point to the temporary stack.
Nobody else cares about ->thread.sp for a thread which is currently on
a CPU, because the true value is actually in the %rsp register. Which
is restored with the rest of the CPU context in do_suspend_lowlevel().
