[PATCH] kexec: send slaves to new kernel earlier

[Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com>]

Copy the code and start the slaves on their journey to next
kernels spin loop as soon as we copy the kexec image into place.

The kernel doesn't know exactly which slaves are spinning in
kexec_wait.  This allows us to pass more than max-cpus to the
next kernel.  But it also means that we might leave some behind.

Moving the code here means they have the time it takes us to
clear the hash table to wake up and move on.  Moving the code
any earlier would reuqire walking the image description to
search for the code, which could span multiple pages.

I applied this change while searching for the cause of lost cpus.   The actual
cause was a sequence error causing the slaves to attempt to execute invalid
instructions, but it showed the result is bouncing off the kernels ISI
handler scribling on low memory.
