[PATCH v2] arm64: fix cleared E0POE bit after cpu_suspend()/resume()

TCR2_ELx.E0POE is set during smp_init().
However, this bit is not reprogrammed when the CPU enters suspension and
later resumes via cpu_resume(), as __cpu_setup() does not re-enable E0POE
and there is no save/restore logic for the TCR2_ELx system register.

As a result, the E0POE feature no longer works after cpu_resume().

To address this, save and restore TCR2_EL1 in the cpu_suspend()/cpu_resume()
path, rather than adding related logic to __cpu_setup(), taking into account
possible future extensions of the TCR2_ELx feature.
