drivers/intel/fsp2_0: Allow `mp_startup_all_cpus()` to run serially
As per MP service specification, EDK2 is allowed to specify the mode in which a 'func' routine should be executed on APs. `SingleThread` sets to 'true' meaning to execute the function one by one (serially) or sets to 'false' meaning to execute the function simultaneously. MP service API `StartupAllAPs` was designed to pass such options as part of function argument. But another MP service API `StartupAllCPUs` doesn't specify any such requirement. Running the `func` simultaneously on APs results in a coherency issue (hang while executing `func`) due to lack of acquiring a spin lock while accessing common data structure in multiprocessor environment.
