Subject: [PATCH v6 20/29] init/main: Delay initialization of the lockup detector after smp_init()

Certain implementations of the hardlockup detector require support for
Inter-Processor Interrupt shorthands. On x86, support for these can only
be determined after all the possible CPUs have booted once (in
smp_init()). Other architectures may not need such check.

lockup_detector_init() only performs the initializations of data
structures of the lockup detector. Hence, there are no dependencies on
smp_init().
