[PATCH V2] x86/stackprotector: Pre-initialize canary for secondary CPUs

[Brian Gerst]

The idle tasks created for each secondary CPU already have a random stack
canary generated by fork().  Copy the canary to the percpu variable before
starting the secondary CPU which removes the need to call
boot_init_stack_canary().
