[PATCH] arm64: kernel: acpi: fix ioremap in ACPI parking protocol cpu_postboot

When secondary cpus are booted through the ACPI parking protocol, the
booted cpu should check that FW has correctly cleared its mailbox entry
point value to make sure the boot process was correctly executed.
The entry point check is carried in the cpu_ops->cpu_postboot method, that
is executed by secondary cpus when entering the kernel with irqs disabled.

The ACPI parking protocol cpu_ops maps/unmaps the mailboxes on the
primary CPU to trigger secondary boot in the cpu_ops->cpu_boot method
and on secondary processors to carry out FW checks on the booted CPU
to verify the boot protocol was successfully executed in the
cpu_ops->cpu_postboot method.

Therefore, the cpu_ops->cpu_postboot method is forced to ioremap/unmap the
mailboxes, which is wrong in that ioremap cannot be safely be carried out
with irqs disabled.

To fix this issue, this patch reshuffles the code so that the mailboxes
are still mapped after the boot processor executes the cpu_ops->cpu_boot
method for a given cpu, and the VA at which a mailbox is mapped for a given
cpu is stashed in the per-cpu data struct so that secondary cpus can
retrieve them in the cpu_ops->cpu_postboot and complete the required
FW checks.

It applies to the arm64 tree, for-next/core branch.

Tested on AMD (Seattle), APM (Mustang and Merlin), sorry for all this churn.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
