[PATCH v2] arm64: Disallow disabling boot CPU based on config

[Sneh Mankad]

The Qualcomm SoCs like LeMans, Monaco support suspend to ram which leads
the SoC to ACPI S3 similar state where SoC is turned off and DDR is
retained. The hardware design on these SoCs forces a constraint to suspend
and resume the system on boot CPU / CPU0.

If CPU0 is already offline before starting suspend to ram the
freeze_secondary_cpus() picks alternate CPU as primary / last CPU and
proceed further to invoke PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND.
This leads to a system crash.

In order to prevent such an issue introduce PM_SLEEP_SMP_CPU_ZERO_STRICT
config and when enabled prohibit the CPU0 from getting disabled.
