[PATCH V4 2/2] powerpc/kexec: Reset HILE before kexec_sequence

On powernv secondary cpus are returned to OPAL, and will then enter
the target kernel in big-endian. However if it is set the HILE bit
will persist, causing the first exception in the target kernel to be
delivered in litte-endian regardless of the current endianess.

If running on top of OPAL make sure the HILE bit is reset once we've
finished waiting for all of the secondaries to be returned to OPAL.
