Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cpu, idle: move init_idle() out of idle_thread_get()

Currently idle_thread_get() not only gets the idle task but also
initializes it. This is fine for _cpu_up() which is the only caller
of idle_thread_get().

idle_thread_get() is going to be used in the next patch, but it
would be nice to avoid double initialization of idle task.
Hence this patch removes init_idle() call from idle_thread_get()
and invokes it directly from _cpu_up().

No functional changes here.
