[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/64: Set up a kernel stack for secondaries before cpu_restore()

Currently in generic_secondary_smp_init(), cur_cpu_spec->cpu_restore()
is called before a stack has been set up in r1. This was previously fine
as the cpu_restore() functions were implemented in assembly and did not
use a stack. However commit 5a61ef74f269 ("powerpc/64s: Support new
device tree binding for discovering CPU features") used
__restore_cpu_cpufeatures() as the cpu_restore() function for a
device-tree features based cputable entry.  This is a nonleaf C function
and hence requires a stack in r1.

Create the temp kernel stack before calling cpu_restore().
