idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()
Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86:
Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector.
I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a
function which never returns, but I put that call into
arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns.
I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then
I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the
stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the
non-boot cpus.
So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into
cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef
is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the
boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle.
I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH
maintainers have no objection.
