REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3199

When Token points to mSmmStartupThisApToken, this routine is called
from SmmStartupThisAp() in non-blocking mode due to
PcdCpuSmmBlockStartupThisAp == FALSE.

In this case, caller wants to startup AP procedure in non-blocking
mode and cannot get the completion status from the Token because there
is no way to return the Token to caller from SmmStartupThisAp().
Caller needs to use its specific way to query the completion status.

There is no need to allocate a token for such case so the 2 overheads
can be avoided:
1. Call AllocateTokenBuffer() when there is no free token.
2. Get a free token from the token buffer.

(1) please fix the whitespace error here (it comes from the pre-patch
code, but it's just one character, so we can fix it in this patch)


> +      mSmmMpSyncData->CpuData[CpuIndex].Token = ProcToken;

(2) It seems like this patch introduces a new code path.
InternalSmmStartupThisAp() will continue thinking that this invocation
is non-blocking:

  if (Token == NULL) {
    AcquireSpinLock (mSmmMpSyncData->CpuData[CpuIndex].Busy);
    ReleaseSpinLock (mSmmMpSyncData->CpuData[CpuIndex].Busy);
  }

but APHandler() will think that the invocation was blocking, and it will
not call ReleaseToken() any longer:

    if (mSmmMpSyncData->CpuData[CpuIndex].Token != NULL) {
      ReleaseToken (CpuIndex);
    }

This behavior seems OK to me.

However, please modify the commit message: I think we should list the
3rd step we are omitting (after AllocateTokenBuffer / GetFreeToken) --
namely, ReleaseToken().

With these two superficial updates:
