Intel cpus: Fix deadlock on hyper-threading init
Only the BSP CPU was able to start its hyper-threading CPU siblings. When an AP CPU attempts this it calls start_cpu() within start_cpu(), deadlocking the system with start_cpu_lock. At the time intel_sibling_init() is run, the BSP CPU is still walking the cpu_bus linked list in lapic_cpu_init: start_other_cpus(). A sibling CPU appended at the end of this list will get started. Also fail compile with #error if SERIAL_CPU_INIT==0, as microcode updates on hyper-threading sibling CPUs must be serialized. Tested with HT-enabled P4 Xeons on dual-socket604 platform.
