x86/boot: Fix the end of the stack for idle tasks
Thanks to all the recent x86 entry code refactoring, most tasks' kernel stacks start at the same offset right below their saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to enter the kernel. That creates a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is sane. However, the boot CPU's idle "swapper" task doesn't follow that convention. Fix that by starting its stack at a sizeof(pt_regs) offset from the end of the stack page.
