[PATCH] i386 cpu hotplug: don't access freed memory

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug.  The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.

Fix that by:

        1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
        2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
        3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
           to a safe default when the vendor is not found.

This does not change behavior for AMD systems.  They were broken already
but no error was reported.
