x86/mm/32: Load a sane CR3 before cpu_init() on secondary CPUs

For unknown historical reasons (i.e. Borislav doesn't recall),
32-bit kernels invoke cpu_init() on secondary CPUs with
initial_page_table loaded into CR3.  Then they set
current->active_mm to &init_mm and call enter_lazy_tlb() before
fixing CR3.  This means that the x86 TLB code gets invoked while CR3
is inconsistent, and, with the improved PCID sanity checks I added,
we warn.

Fix it by loading swapper_pg_dir (i.e. init_mm.pgd) earlier.
