x86/boot/32: Defer resyncing initial_page_table until per-cpu is set up

The x86 smpboot trampoline expects initial_page_table to have the
GDT mapped.  If the GDT ends up in a virtually mapped per-cpu page,
then it won't be in the page tables at all until perc-pu areas are
set up.  The result will be a triple fault the first time that the
CPU attempts to access the GDT after LGDT loads the perc-pu GDT.

This appears to be an old bug, but somehow the GDT fixmap rework
is triggering it.  This seems to have something to do with the
memory layout.
