powerpc/64: Fix task_cpu in early boot when booting non-zero cpuid
[ Upstream commit 9fa24404f5044967753a6cd3e5e36f57686bec6e ] powerpc/64 can boot on a non-zero SMP processor id. Initially, the boot CPU is said to be "assumed to be 0" until early_init_devtree() discovers the id from the device tree. That is not a good description because the assumption can be wrong and that has to be handled, the better description is that 0 is used as a placeholder, and things are fixed after the real id is discovered. smp_processor_id() is set to the boot cpuid, but task_cpu(current) is not, which causes the smp_processor_id() == task_cpu(current) invariant to be broken until init_idle() in sched_init(). This is quite fragile and could lead to subtle bugs in future. One bug is that validate_sp_size uses task_cpu() to get the process stack, so any stack trace from the booting CPU between early_init_devtree() and sched_init() will have problems. Early on paca_ptrs[0] will be poisoned, so that can cause machine checks dereferencing that memory in real mode. Later, validating the current stack pointer against the idle task of a different secondary will probably cause no stack trace to be printed. Fix this by setting thread_info->cpu right after smp_processor_id() is set to the boot cpuid.
