x86/smpboot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs



In parallel startup mode the APs are kicked alive by the control CPU
quickly after each other and run through the early startup code in
parallel. The real-mode startup code is already serialized with a
bit-spinlock to protect the real-mode stack.

In parallel startup mode the smpboot_control variable obviously cannot
contain the Linux CPU number so the APs have to determine their Linux CPU
number on their own. This is required to find the CPUs per CPU offset in
order to find the idle task stack and other per CPU data.

To achieve this, export the cpuid_to_apicid[] array so that each AP can
find its own CPU number by searching therein based on its APIC ID.

Introduce a flag in the top bits of smpboot_control which indicates that
the AP should find its CPU number by reading the APIC ID from the APIC.

This is required because CPUID based APIC ID retrieval can only provide the
initial APIC ID, which might have been overruled by the firmware. Some AMD
APUs come up with APIC ID = initial APIC ID + 0x10, so the APIC ID to CPU
number lookup would fail miserably if based on CPUID. Also virtualization
can make its own APIC ID assignements. The only requirement is that the
APIC IDs are consistent with the APCI/MADT table.

For the boot CPU or in case parallel bringup is disabled the control bits
are empty and the CPU number is directly available in bit 0-23 of
smpboot_control.
