MIPS: Move idle task creation to work queue
To avoid forking usermode thread when creating an idle task, move fork_idle
to a work queue.
If kernel starts with maxcpus= option which does not bring all available
cpus online at boot time, idle tasks for offline cpus are not created. If
later offline cpus are hotplugged through sysfs, __cpu_up is called in
the context of the user task, and fork_idle copies its non-zero mm
pointer. This causes BUG() in per_cpu_trap_init.
This also avoids issues with resource limits of the CPU writing to sysfs,
containers, maybe others.
