[RFC PATCH 2/7] ARM: SMP: generic SMP spin-table method routines

Implement a centralized version of the spin table (a.k.a. "holding
pen") method of secondary CPU initialization. This is the first
step in removing a number of duplicate implementations of this code.
The eventual goal is to allow "enable-method" properties in device
tree nodes for CPUs to select and use this common code. As such,
some of the names are selected to match the names used in the SMP
spin-table code for ARM64.
Note:
Most implementations examine only the bottom 4 bits of the MPIDR in
order to determine a CPU's id. This version looks at the bottom 24
bits instead, based on MPIDR_HWID_BITMASK. If using only 4 bits is
a requirement for most of the platforms that might use it I'll
switch this use 4 bits instead.
