[PATCH] powerpc: Fix bug in spinup of renumbered secondary threads

If the logical and physical cpu ids of a secondary thread don't match, we will
fail to spin the thread up on pSeries machines due to a bug in pseries/smp.c

We call the RTAS "start-cpu" method with the physical cpu id, the address of
pSeries_secondary_smp_init and the value to pass that function in r3. Currently
we pass "lcpu", the logical cpu id, but pSeries_secondary_smp_init expects
the physical cpu id in r3.

We should be passing pcpu instead.
