[PATCH 5/8] arm64: Split soft_restart into two stages

Remove the call to setup_restart() from within soft_restart(), change
setup_restart() from local to global scope by removing its static attribute,
and add a function prototype for setup_restart() in system_misc.h.

Splitting setup_restart() and soft_restart() into two different operations
allows for the calling routine to call setup_restart(), then perform some
operation with the identity map in enabled, and then call soft_restart() to
disable the MMU and perform the soft reset.  It is expected that the calling
routine will call setup_restart(), then shortly thereafter call soft_restart().

To properly manage the shutdown of spin-table secondary CPUs it is necessary to
transition those CPUs into a state compatible with booting.txt.  The existing
implementation of soft_restart() did not allow for the transition to an
identity mapped spin loop.
