x86/smpboot: Split up native_cpu_up() into separate phases and document them



There are four logical parts to what native_cpu_up() does on the BSP (or
on the controlling CPU for a later hotplug):

 1) Wake the AP by sending the INIT/SIPI/SIPI sequence.

 2) Wait for the AP to make it as far as wait_for_master_cpu() which
    sets that CPU's bit in cpu_initialized_mask, then sets the bit in
    cpu_callout_mask to let the AP proceed through cpu_init().

 3) Wait for the AP to finish cpu_init() and get as far as the
    smp_callin() call, which sets that CPU's bit in cpu_callin_mask.

 4) Perform the TSC synchronization and wait for the AP to actually
    mark itself online in cpu_online_mask.

In preparation to allow these phases to operate in parallel on multiple
APs, split them out into separate functions and document the interactions
a little more clearly in both the BP and AP code paths.

No functional change intended.
