Before this patch early_trap_init() installs DEBUG_STACK for X86_TRAP_BP
and X86_TRAP_DB. However, DEBUG_STACK doesn't work correctly until
cpu_init() <-- trap_init().

This patch passes 0 to set_intr_gate_ist() and
set_system_intr_gate_ist() instead of DEBUG_STACK to let it use same
stack as kernel, and installs DEBUG_STACK for them in trap_init().

As core runs at ring 0 between early_trap_init() and trap_init(), there
is no chance to get a bad stack before trap_init().

As NMI is also enabled in trap_init(), we don't need to care about
is_debug_stack() and related things used in arch/x86/kernel/nmi.c.
