ARM: stop: execute platform callback from cpu_stop code
Sending IPI_CPU_STOP to a CPU causes it to execute a busy cpu_relax loop forever. This makes it impossible to kexec successfully on an SMP system since the secondary CPUs do not reset. This patch adds a callback to platform_cpu_kill, defined when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, from the ipi_cpu_stop handling code. This function currently just returns 1 on all platforms that define it but allows them to do something more sophisticated in the future. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
