ACPI: processor: Fix CPU0 wakeup in acpi_idle_play_dead()

Browse source 
Commit 496121c021 ("ACPI: processor: idle: Allow probing on platforms
with one ACPI C-state") broke CPU0 hotplug on certain systems, e.g.
I'm observing the following on AWS Nitro (e.g r5b.xlarge but other
instance types are affected as well):

 # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
 <10 seconds delay>
 -bash: echo: write error: Input/output error

In fact, the above mentioned commit only revealed the problem and did
not introduce it. On x86, to wakeup CPU an NMI is being used and
hlt_play_dead()/mwait_play_dead() loops are prepared to handle it:

	/*
	 * If NMI wants to wake up CPU0, start CPU0.
	 */
	if (wakeup_cpu0())
		start_cpu0();

cpuidle_play_dead() -> acpi_idle_play_dead() (which is now being called on
systems where it wasn't called before the above mentioned commit) serves
the same purpose but it doesn't have a path for CPU0. What happens now on
wakeup is:
 - NMI is sent to CPU0
 - wakeup_cpu0_nmi() works as expected
 - we get back to while (1) loop in acpi_idle_play_dead()
 - safe_halt() puts CPU0 to sleep again.

The straightforward/minimal fix is add the special handling for CPU0 on x86
and that's what the patch is doing.
