[PATCH RFC 0/3] arm64: Add HOTPLUG_PARALLEL support for secondary CPUs

Support for parallel secondary CPU bringup is already utilized by x86,
MIPS, and RISC-V. This patch brings this capability to the arm64
architecture.

Introduce CONFIG_PARALLEL_SMT_PRIMARY_FIRST to avoid primary SMT threads
to boot first constraint.

And Add a 'cpu' parameter to update_cpu_boot_status() to allow updating the
boot status at a per-CPU granularity during parallel bringup.

Rework the global `secondary_data` accessed during early boot into
a per-CPU array. This array maps logical CPU IDs to MPIDR_EL1 values,
enabling the early boot code in head.S to resolve each secondary CPU's
logical ID concurrently.
