[PATCH v6 4/5] ARM: stop: execute platform callback from cpu_stop code

Sending IPI_CPU_STOP to a CPU causes it to execute a busy cpu_relax
loop forever. This makes it impossible to kexec successfully on an SMP
system since the secondary CPUs do not reset.
This patch adds a callback to platform_cpu_kill, defined when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, from the ipi_cpu_stop handling code. This function
currently just returns 1 on all platforms that define it but allows them
to do something more sophisticated in the future.

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
