On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with
per CPU accessors:

  cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
  cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse:    expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
  cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse:    got unsigned int *

The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP
is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous
accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as
some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular
per CPU accessors.

Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU
cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot
CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function
and implement exactly that.

This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the
way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.
