[patch 2/3] x86/cpu: Get rid of redundant switch_to_new_gdt() invocations

[Thomas Gleixner]

The only place where switch_to_new_gdt() is required is early boot to
switch from the early GDT to the direct GDT. Any other invocation is
completely redundant because it does not change anything.

Secondary CPUs come out of the ASM code with GDT and GSBASE correctly set
up. The same is true for XEN_PV.

Remove all the voodoo invocations which are left overs from the ancient
past, rename the function to switch_to_direct_gdt() and mark it init.
