Subject: [patch 1/4] x86/cpu: Ensure that CPU info updates are propagated on
 UP

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice:

  1) During early boot

  2) When finalizing the early setup right before
     mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched.

In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the
copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens
between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to
the per CPU info instance.

Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final state
and not supposed to change anymore.

This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which had
absolutely no purpose.

Fixes: 71eb4893cfaf ("x86/percpu: Cure per CPU madness on UP")
