Aim:
This patch aims to solve an assertion happens after SwitchApContext()
on checking if CpuMpData->FinishedCount == (CpuMpData->CpuCount - 1).
The assertion issue due to a timing discrepancy between the BSP
completing its Start-up signal checking and the APs incrementing the
FinishedCount.
In the SwitchApContext(), the BSP triggers the startup signal and
checks if the APs have received it to awaken. After completing this
check, the BSP then verifies if the FinishedCount is equal to
CpuCount-1. For the APs, upon receiving the startup signal,
they call the SwitchContextPerAp() and increment the
FinishedCount to indicate their awakening. However, due to a timing
discrepancy, even when all APs have received the startup signal, they
might not have finished incrementing the FinishedCount. This timing
issue results in the triggering of the assertion.
Solution:
Instead of assertion, use while loop to waits until all the APs have
incremented the FinishedCount.
