[PATCH linux-next v2] powerpc: init jump label early in ppc 64

From: Zhouyi Zhou <zhouzhouyi at gmail.com>

In ppc 64, invoke jump_label_init in setup_feature_keys is too late
because static key will be used in subroutine of parse_early_param
which is again subroutine of early_init_devtree.

So we invoke jump_label_init just before parse_early_param in
early_init_devtree.

Dear PPC developers

I found this bug when trying to do rcutorture tests in ppc VM of
Open Source Lab of Oregon State University.

qemu-system-ppc64 -nographic -smp cores=8,threads=1 -net none -M pseries -nodefaults -device spapr-vscsi -serial file:/home/ubuntu/linux-next/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2022.07.19-01.18.42-torture/results-rcutorture/TREE03/console.log -m 512 -kernel /home/ubuntu/linux-next/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2022.07.19-01.18.42-torture/results-rcutorture/TREE03/vmlinux -append "debug_boot_weak_hash panic=-1 console=ttyS0 rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress_at_boot=1 torture.disable_onoff_at_boot rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_timeout=30000 rcutorture.onoff_interval=200 rcutorture.onoff_holdoff=30 rcutree.gp_preinit_delay=12 rcutree.gp_init_delay=3 rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay=3 rcutree.kthread_prio=2 threadirqs tree.use_softirq=0 rcutorture.n_barrier_cbs=4 rcutorture.stat_interval=15 rcutorture.shutdown_secs=420 rcutorture.test_no_idle_hz=1 rcutorture.verbose=1"

console.log report following WARN:

After this fix, the WARN does not show again.
