x86/vdso: Initialize the CPU/node NR segment descriptor earlier
Currently the CPU/node NR segment descriptor (GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER) is initialized relatively late during CPU init, from the vCPU code, which has a number of disadvantages, such as hotplug CPU notifiers and SMP cross-calls. Instead just initialize it much earlier, directly in cpu_init(). This reduces complexity and increases robustness. [ mingo: Wrote new changelog. ] Suggested-by: H.
