x86/cpu_entry_area: Sync cpu_entry_area to initial_page_table



The separation of the cpu_entry_area from the fixmap missed the fact that
on 32bit non-PAE kernels the cpu_entry_area mapping might not be covered in
initial_page_table by the previous synchronizations.

This results in suspend/resume failures because 32bit utilizes initial page
table for resume. The absence of the cpu_entry_area mapping results in a
triple fault, aka. insta reboot.

With PAE enabled this works by chance because the PGD entry which covers
the fixmap and other parts incindentally provides the cpu_entry_area
mapping as well.

Synchronize the initial page table after setting up the cpu entry
area. Instead of adding yet another copy of the same code, move it to a
function and invoke it from the various places.

It needs to be investigated if the existing calls in setup_arch() and
setup_per_cpu_areas() can be replaced by the later invocation from
setup_cpu_entry_areas(), but that's beyond the scope of this fix.
