powerpc: Reset kernel stack on cpu online from cede state

Browse Source 
Cpu hotplug (offline) without dlpar operation will place cpu
in cede state and the extended_cede_processor() function will
return when resumed.

Kernel stack pointer needs to be reset before
start_secondary() is called to continue the online operation.

Added new function start_secondary_resume() to do the above
steps.
