Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/6] arm64: pass stack base to secondary_start_kernel

In subsequent patches, we'll want the base of the secondary stack in
secondary_start_kernel.

Pass the stack base down, as we do in the primary path, and add the
offset in secondary_start_kernel. Unfortunately, we can't encode
STACK_START_SP in an add immediate, so use a mov immedaite, which has
greater range.

This is far from a hot path, so the overhead shouldn't matter.
