x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug

Browse source 
Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.

Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.
