powerpc/book3s64/kexec: Clear CIABR on kexec



The value in CIABR persists across kexec which can lead to unintended
results when the new kernel hits the old kernel's breakpoint. For
example:

0:mon> bi $loadavg_proc_show
0:mon> b
   type            address
1 inst   c000000000519060  loadavg_proc_show+0x0/0x130
0:mon> x

$ kexec -l /mnt/vmlinux --initrd=/mnt/rootfs.cpio.gz --append='xmon=off'
$ kexec -e

$ cat /proc/loadavg
Trace/breakpoint trap

Make sure CIABR is cleared so this does not happen.
