Secondary cores should always enter the kernel in ARM mode like the
primary core, right? So we need the same switching to Thumb2 as
head.S, but even secondary_startup doesn't do any switching. So either
platforms jump into the kernel with a bx and happen to work or
secondary boot is broken for Thumb2 kernels.

Also, secondary_startup takes care of making sure the core is in SVC
mode, so this function shouldn't be needed in the first place.
