x86/smpboot: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier

The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in mtrr_ap_init() is not early enough
in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep splats
as follows:

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.9.0+ #268 Not tainted
-----------------------------
kernel/kprobes.c:300 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by swapper/1/0.

stack backtrace:

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near
the beginning of the start_secondary() function.  Note that the
raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into lockdep
before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
