Pavel Tatashin 8990cac6e5 x86/jump_label: Initialize static branching early
Static branching is useful to runtime patch branches that are used in hot
path, but are infrequently changed.

The x86 clock framework is one example that uses static branches to setup
the best clock during boot and never changes it again.

It is desired to enable the TSC based sched clock early to allow fine
grained boot time analysis early on. That requires the static branching
functionality to be functional early as well.

Static branching requires patching nop instructions, thus,
arch_init_ideal_nops() must be called prior to jump_label_init().

Do all the necessary steps to call arch_init_ideal_nops() right after
early_cpu_init(), which also allows to insert a call to jump_label_init()
right after that. jump_label_init() will be called again from the generic
init code, but the code is protected against reinitialization already.
