ARM: omap2+: Revert omap-smp.c changes resetting CPU1 during boot



Commit 32518852 ("ARM: OMAP4+: Reset CPU1 properly for kexec") started
unconditionally resetting CPU1 because of a kexec boot issue I was seeing
earlier on omap4 when doing kexec boot between two different kernel
versions.

This caused issues on some systems. We should only reset CPU1 as a last
resort option, and try to avoid it where possible. Doing an unconditional
CPU1 reset causes issues for example when booting a bootloader configured
secure OS running on CPU1 as reported by Andrew F. Davis <afd@ti.com>.

We can't completely remove the reset of CPU1 as it would break kexec
booting from older kernels. But we can limit the CPU1 reset to cases
where CPU1 is wrongly parked within the memory area used by the booting
kernel. Then later on we can add support for parking CPU1 for kexec out
of the SDRAM back to bootrom.

So let's first fix the regression reported by Andrew by making CPU1 reset
conditional. To do this, we need to:

1. Save configured AUX_CORE_BOOT_1 for later

2. Modify AUX_CORE_BOOT_0 reading code to for HS SoCs to return
   the whole register instead of the CPU mask

3. Check if CPU1 is wrongly parked into the booting kernel by the
   previous kernel and reset if needed
