The original shadow stack support has an error on S3 resume with very bizzare
fallout.  The BSP comes back up, but APs fail with:

  (XEN) Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
  (XEN) Stuck ??
  (XEN) Error bringing CPU1 up: -5

and then later (on at least two Intel TigerLake platforms), the next HVM vCPU
to be scheduled on the BSP dies with:

  (XEN) d1v0 Unexpected vmexit: reason 3
  (XEN) domain_crash called from vmx.c:4304
  (XEN) Domain 1 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:

The VMExit reason is EXIT_REASON_INIT, which has nothing to do with the
scheduled vCPU, and will be addressed in a subsequent patch.  It is a
consequence of the APs triple faulting.

The reason the APs triple fault is because we don't tear down the stacks on
suspend.  The idle/play_dead loop is killed in the middle of running, meaning
that the supervisor token is left busy.

On resume, SETSSBSY finds the token already busy, suffers #CP and triple
faults because the IDT isn't configured this early.

Rework the AP bringup path to (re)create the supervisor token.  This ensures
the primary stack is non-busy before use.

Slightly RFC.  This does fix the crash encountered, but it occurs to me that
there's a race condition when S3 platform powerdown is incident with an
NMI/#MC, where more than just the primary shadow stack can end up busy on
resume.

A larger fix would be to change how we allocate tokens, and always have each
CPU set up its own tokens.  I didn't do this originally in the hopes of having
WRSSQ generally disabled, but that plan failed when encountering reality...
