[PATCH] MIPS: move idle task creation to work queue

[maksim.rayskiy@gmail.com]

From: Maksim Rayskiy <mrayskiy@broadcom.com>

To avoid forking usertask when creating an idle task, move fork_idle
to a work queue.
This is a small improvement to previous commit 467f0b8.

Ralf, this is per your suggestion. The code is mostly copy-pasted
from arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c
