x86: fix x86_32 stack protector bugs
Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector
Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary
instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary
value for all threads. Fixing this also exposed the following bugs.
* cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary()
* stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making
the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value.
Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about
calling boot_init_stack_canary().
