Impact: no unnecessary stack canary swapping during context switch
There's no point in moving stack_canary around during context switch
if it's not enabled. Conditionalize it.

Accessing memory through %gs should not use rip-relative addressing.
Adding a P prefix for the argument tells gcc to not add (%rip) to
the memory references.

Impact: cleanup
In asm/system.h moved out __switch_to from CONFIG_X86_32 as it is common for
both 32 and 64 bit.
In asm/pctl.h defined sys_arch_prctl

Impact: really halt all CPUs on halt
Function machine_halt (resp. native_machine_halt) is empty for x86
architectures. When command 'halt -f' is invoked, the message "System
halted." is displayed but this is not really true because all CPUs are
still running.
There are also similar inconsistencies for other arches (some uses
power-off for halt or forever-loop with IRQs enabled/disabled).
IMO there should be used the same approach for all architectures OR
what does the message "System halted" really mean?
This patch fixes it for x86.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
