x86 ACPI: Fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel

We are now using per CPU GDT tables in head_64.S and the original
early_gdt_descr.address is invalidated after boot by 
setup_per_cpu_areas().  This breaks resume from suspend to RAM on
x86_64 UP systems using SMP kernels, because this part of head_64.S
is also executed during the resume and the invalid GDT address
causes the system to crash.  It doesn't break on 'true' SMP systems,
because early_gdt_descr.address is modified every time
native_cpu_up() runs.  However, during resume it should point to the
GDT of the boot CPU rather than to another CPU's GDT.

For this reason, during suspend to RAM always make
early_gdt_descr.address point to the boot CPU's GDT.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11568, which
is a regression from 2.6.26.
