[PATCH 1/3] ARM: DT: kernel: move temporary cpu map stack array to static data

As the number of CPUs increase, the temporary array allocated on the
stack in arm_dt_init_cpu_maps() can become too big and trigger stack
issues.
This patch moves the allocated memory to static __initdata so that stack
data is not used anymore to allocate the temporary array.
Memory is marked as __initdata since it need not be persistent after boot.
