x86/boot/32: Defer resyncing initial_page_table until per-cpu is set up
The x86 smpboot trampoline expects initial_page_table to have the GDT mapped. If the GDT ends up in a virtually mapped per-cpu page, then it won't be in the page tables at all until perc-pu areas are set up. The result will be a triple fault the first time that the CPU attempts to access the GDT after LGDT loads the perc-pu GDT. This appears to be an old bug, but somehow the GDT fixmap rework is triggering it. This seems to have something to do with the memory layout.
