Recently in commit 7241d26e8175 ("powerpc/64: properly initialise
the stackprotector canary on SMP.") we fixed a crash with stack
protector on SMP by initialising the stack canary in
cpu_idle_thread_init().

But this can also causes crashes, when a CPU comes back online after
being offline:

   Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: 
pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self+0x2a0/0x2b0
   CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 
4.19.0-rc3-gcc-7.3.1-00168-g4ffe713b7587 #94
   Call Trace:
     dump_stack+0xb0/0xf4 (unreliable)
     panic+0x144/0x328
     __stack_chk_fail+0x2c/0x30
     pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self+0x2a0/0x2b0
     cpu_die+0x48/0x70
     arch_cpu_idle_dead+0x20/0x40
     do_idle+0x274/0x390
     cpu_startup_entry+0x38/0x50
     start_secondary+0x5e4/0x600
     start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14

Looking at the stack we see that the canary value in the stack frame
doesn't match the canary in the task/paca. That is because we have
reinitialised the task/paca value, but then the CPU coming online has
returned into a function using the old canary value. That causes the
comparison to fail.

Instead we can call boot_init_stack_canary() from start_secondary()
which never returns. This is essentially what the generic code does in
cpu_startup_entry() under #ifdef X86, we should make that non-x86
specific in a future patch.

This shall not be done on arches that uses a global canary, so I think it has to be kept arch specific. Indeed I think x86 should move it to cpu_bringup_and_idle(). I'll propose them a patch for that.
