[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v7 21/35] powerpc: Remove broken SMP exception stack setup

The exception stack setup does not work correctly for SMP, because
it is the boot processor that calls cpu_set() which sets SPRG2 to
the exception stack, not the target CPU itself. So secondaries
never got their SPRG2 set to a valid exception stack.

Remove the SMP code and just set an exception stack for the boot
processor. Make the stack 64kB while we're here, to match the
size of the regular stack.
