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().
