UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Fix split-lock violation from MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO
A split-lock violation in OVMF was discovered due to the
NumApsExecuting field of the MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO
struct (which is used atomically by the AP Reset Vector
assembly code) crossing a cacheline boundary.
Since the MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO struct is unaligned and
the NumApsExecuting field resides after other non-UINTN aligned
fields in the struct (i.e. GdtrProfile/IdtrProfile), the
NumApsExecuting field was allocated at a non-UINTN aligned
address (crossing a cache-line) resulting in the split-lock
violation.
Therefore, align the MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO struct (on a UINTN
boundary) and move the NumApsExecuting field to before the
GdtrProfile/IdtrProfile fields to ensure it is UINTN aligned and
thus resides within a single cacheline avoiding the split-lock.
Do the same for the ApIndex field as it is also used atomically
and thus subject to a split-lock violation.
