Subject: [PATCH 02/10] cpu/hotplug: Move idle_thread_get() to
 <linux/smpboot.h>

Instead of relying purely on the special-case wrapper in bringup_cpu()
to pass the idle thread to __cpu_up(), expose idle_thread_get() so that
the architecture code can obtain it directly when necessary.

This will be useful when the existing __cpu_up() is split into multiple
phases, only *one* of which will actually need the idle thread.

If the architecture code is to register its new pre-bringup states with
the cpuhp core, having a special-case wrapper to pass extra arguments is
non-trivial and it's easier just to let the arch register its function
pointer to be invoked with the standard API.

To reduce duplication, move the shadow stack reset and kasan unpoisoning
into idle_thread_get() too.
