[PATCH 1/2] x86: initialize stack canary in secondary start

[Jacob Pan]

some secondary clockevent setup code needs to call request_irq, which will
cause fake stack check failure in schedule() if voluntary preemption
model is chosen, it is safe to have stack canary initialized here early,
since start_secondary() does not return.
