powerpc/pseries: Only call start-cpu when a CPU is stopped
Currently we always call start-cpu irrespective of if the CPU is stopped or not. Unfortunatley on POWER7, firmware seems to not like start-cpu being called when a cpu already been started. This was not the case on POWER6 and earlier. This patch checks to see if the CPU is stopped or not via an query-cpu-stopped-state call, and only calls start-cpu on CPUs which are stopped. This fixes a bug with kexec on POWER7 on PHYP where only the primary thread would make it to the second kernel.
