reboot: refactor and comment the cpu selection code

Small improvements to the code, without changing the way it works:

 - use a local variable, to avoid a small time lapse where reboot_cpu
   can have an invalid value

 - comment the code which is not easy to understand at a glance

 - merge two identical code blocks into one

 - replace pointer arithmetics with equivalent array syntax
