arm64: ensure secondary CPU's stack tops are not in the cache
Secondary CPUs were intermittently not coming online as expected.
Upon investigation it was found that a cache line needed to be
invalidated that corresponded to the top of the stack for the
failing CPU.
Currently the secondary CPUs come online with caching disabled.
However, the code paths are using C and thus the stack it is assigned.
The MMU is enabled in C after it's pushed its return path onto the
stack that went directly to ram. When the cache line corresponding
to its stack is valid in the cache it will hit once the MMU is enabled.
That hit will have invalid data w.r.t. the return addresses pushed
directly into ram.
This is not the best solution as the only way to guarantee we don't
hit such a situation is to tightly manage resource usage up until
the point of MMU enablement. That can be done in a followup patch.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:33962
BRANCH=None
TEST=On ryu where secondary CPUs weren't coming online consistently,
they now come up.
