[patch v3 34/36] x86/smpboot: Implement a bit spinlock to protect the realmode stack

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de>

Parallel AP bringup requires that the APs can run fully parallel through
the early startup code including the real mode trampoline.

To prepare for this implement a bit-spinlock to serialize access to the
real mode stack so that parallel upcoming APs are not going to corrupt each
others stack while going through the real mode startup code.
