x86/acpi: Do not attempt to bring up secondary CPUs in the kexec case

Browse source

ACPI MADT doesn't allow to offline a CPU after it was onlined. This limits
kexec: the second kernel won't be able to use more than one CPU.

To prevent a kexec kernel from onlining secondary CPUs, invalidate the mailbox
address in the ACPI MADT wakeup structure which prevents a kexec kernel to use
it.

This is safe as the booting kernel has the mailbox address cached already and
acpi_wakeup_cpu() uses the cached value to bring up the secondary CPUs.

Note: This is a Linux specific convention and not covered by the ACPI
specification.
