cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once
commit 0cc3cd21657be04cb0559fe8063f2130493f92cf upstream
Due to the way Machine Check Exceptions work on X86 hyperthreads it's
required to boot up _all_ logical cores at least once in order to set the
CR4.MCE bit.
So instead of ignoring the sibling threads right away, let them boot up
once so they can configure themselves. After they came out of the initial
boot stage check whether its a "secondary" sibling and cancel the operation
which puts the CPU back into offline state.
[dwmw2: Backport to 4.9]
