Josh Poimboeuf 6616a147a7 x86/boot/32: Fix the end of the stack for idle tasks
The frame at the end of each idle task stack is inconsistent with real
task stacks, which have a stack frame header and a real return address
before the pt_regs area.  This inconsistency can be confusing for stack
unwinders.  It also hides useful information about what asm code was
involved in calling into C.

Fix that by changing the initial code jumps to calls.  Also add infinite
loops after the calls to make it clear that the calls don't return, and
to hang if they do.
