arm64: initialize per-cpu offsets earlier



The current initialization of the per-cpu offset register is difficult
to follow and this initialization is not always early enough for
upcoming instrumentation with KCSAN, where the instrumentation callbacks
use the per-cpu offset.

To make it possible to support KCSAN, and to simplify reasoning about
early bringup code, let's initialize the per-cpu offset earlier, before
we run any C code that may consume it. To do so, this patch adds a new
init_this_cpu_offset() helper that's called before the usual
primary/secondary start functions. For consistency, this is also used to
re-initialize the per-cpu offset after the runtime per-cpu areas have
been allocated (which can change CPU0's offset).

So that init_this_cpu_offset() isn't subject to any instrumentation that
might consume the per-cpu offset, it is marked with noinstr, preventing
instrumentation.
