arm64: smp: Add function to determine if cpus are stuck in the kernel
kernel/smp.c has a fancy counter that keeps track of the number of CPUs it marked as not-present and left in cpu_park_loop(). If there are any CPUs spinning in here, features like kexec or hibernate may release them by overwriting this memory. This problem also occurs on machines using spin-tables to release secondary cores. After commit 44dbcc93ab67 ("arm64: Fix behavior of maxcpus=N") we bring all known cpus into the secondary holding pen, meaning this memory can't be re-used by kexec or hibernate. Add a function cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel() to determine if either of these cases have occurred.
