[PATCH v2] idle/x86: remove the call to boot_init_stack_canary() from cpu_startup_entry()

[Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>]

commit d7880812b359 ("idle: Add the stack canary init to
cpu_startup_entry()") added the call to boot_init_stack_canary()
in cpu_startup_entry() in an #ifdef CONFIG_X86 statement, with
the intention to remove that #ifdef later.

While implementing stack protector for powerpc, it has been
observed that calling boot_init_stack_canary() is also needed
for powerpc which uses per task (TLS) stack canary like the X86.

However, calling boot_init_stack_canary() would break arches
using global stack canary (ARM, SH, MIPS and XTENSA).

Instead of modifying the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 in an
 #if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_PPC), powerpc
implemented the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in the function
calling cpu_startup_entry()

On x86, we have two functions calling cpu_startup_entry():
- start_secondary()
- cpu_bringup_and_idle()

start_secondary() already calls boot_init_stack_canary().

This patch adds the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in
cpu_bringup_and_idle() and removes it from cpu_startup_entry()
