The following lockdep warning occurrs when running with latest kernel:

As we alloc pages with GFP_KERNEL in init_espfix_ap() which is called
before enabled local irq, and the lockdep sub-system considers this
behaviour as allocating memory with GFP_FS with local irq disabled,
then trigger the warning as mentioned about.

So we allocate them on the boot CPU side when the target CPU is bringing
up by the primary CPU, and hand them over to the secondary CPU.

v3:
 -split the original path into two parts

v2:
 -allocate espfix stack pages when the targert CPU is bringing up by the
  primary CPU
 -commit messages changed

v1:
 -Alloc the page on the node the target CPU is on.

Zhu Guihua (2):
  espfix: add cpu parameter to init_espfix_ap()
  x86, espfix: init espfix on the boot cpu side
