Borislav Petkov b1efd0ff4b x86/cpu: Init AP exception handling from cpu_init_secondary() ...

SEV-ES guests require properly setup task register with which the TSS
descriptor in the GDT can be located so that the IST-type #VC exception
handler which they need to function properly, can be executed.

This setup needs to happen before attempting to load microcode in
ucode_cpu_init() on secondary CPUs which can cause such #VC exceptions.

Simplify the machinery by running that exception setup from a new function
cpu_init_secondary() and explicitly call cpu_init_exception_handling() for
the boot CPU before cpu_init(). The latter prepares for fixing and
simplifying the exception/IST setup on the boot CPU.

There should be no functional changes resulting from this patch.

[ tglx: Reworked it so cpu_init_exception_handling() stays seperate ]
