[S390] kernel: Initialize register 14 when starting new CPU
When starting a new CPU we currently jump to start_secondary() without
setting register 14 (the return address) correctly. Therefore on the stack
frame for start_secondary an invalid return address is stored. This leads
to wrong stack back traces in kernel dumps.
Example:
#00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
#01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
#02 [1f33feb8] (null) at 0 <--- invalid
To fix this start_secondary() is called now with basr/brasl that sets
register 14 correctly. The output of the stack backtrace looks then
like the following:
#00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
#01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
#02 [1f33feb8] restart_base at 54f41e <--- correct
