REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2474

Previous commit d786a17232:
UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Reduce the size when loading microcode patches

Removed the below assignments for the 'InitFlag' field of CPU_MP_DATA
structure in function MpInitLibInitialize() when APs are waken up to do
some initialize sync:

CpuMpData->InitFlag  = ApInitReconfig;
...
CpuMpData->InitFlag = ApInitDone;

The above commit mistakenly assumed the 'InitFlag' field will have a value
of 'ApInitDone' when the APs have been successfully waken up before. And
since there is no explicit comparision for the 'InitFlag' field with the
'ApInitReconfig' value. The commit removed those assignments.

However, under some cases (e.g. when variable OldCpuMpData is not NULL,
which means function CollectProcessorCount() will not be called), removing
the above assignments will left the 'InitFlag' field being uninitialized
with a value of 0, which is a invalid value for the type of 'InitFlag'
(AP_INIT_STATE).

It may potentially cause the WakeUpAP() function to run some unnecessary
codes when the APs have been successfully waken up before:

  if (CpuMpData->WakeUpByInitSipiSipi ||
      CpuMpData->InitFlag   != ApInitDone) {
    ResetVectorRequired = TRUE;
    AllocateResetVector (CpuMpData);
    FillExchangeInfoData (CpuMpData);
    SaveLocalApicTimerSetting (CpuMpData);
  }

This commit will address the above-mentioned issue.

Test done:
* OS boot on a real platform with multi processors
