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 would execute on APs as `SingleThread` sets
to 'true' meaning execute the function one by one (serially) or sets to
'false' meaning execute the function simultaneously.

MP service API `StartupAllAPs` has designed to pass such options as
part of function argument.

But another MP service API `StartupAllCPUs` doesn't specifies any such
requirement. Running the `func` simultaneously on APs results into
coherency issue due to lack of acquire spin lock while accessing common
data structure in multiprocessor environment.
