ARM: kernel: implement stack pointer save array through MPIDR hashing

Current implementation of cpu_{suspend}/cpu_{resume} relies on the MPIDR
to index the array of pointers where the context is saved and restored.
The current approach works as long as the MPIDR can be considered a
linear index, so that the pointers array can simply be dereferenced by
using the MPIDR[7:0] value.
On ARM multi-cluster systems, where the MPIDR may not be a linear index,
to properly dereference the stack pointer array, a mapping function should
be applied to it so that it can be used for arrays look-ups.

This patch adds code in the cpu_{suspend}/cpu_{resume} implementation
that relies on shifting and ORing hashing method to map a MPIDR value to a
set of buckets precomputed at boot to have a collision free mapping from
MPIDR to context pointers.

The hashing algorithm must be simple, fast, and implementable with few
instructions since in the cpu_resume path the mapping is carried out with
the MMU off and the I-cache off, hence code and data are fetched from DRAM
with no-caching available. Simplicity is counterbalanced with a little
increase of memory (allocated dynamically) for stack pointers buckets, that
should be anyway fairly limited on most systems.

Memory for context pointers is allocated in a early_initcall with
size precomputed and stashed previously in kernel data structures.
Memory for context pointers is allocated through kmalloc; this
guarantees contiguous physical addresses for the allocated memory which
is fundamental to the correct functioning of the resume mechanism that
relies on the context pointer array to be a chunk of contiguous physical
memory. Virtual to physical address conversion for the context pointer
array base is carried out at boot to avoid fiddling with virt_to_phys
conversions in the cpu_resume path which is quite fragile and should be
optimized to execute as few instructions as possible.
Virtual and physical context pointer base array addresses are stashed in a
struct that is accessible from assembly using values generated through the
asm-offsets.c mechanism.
