Though commit 602bf409 (ARM: imx6: exit coherency when shutting down a cpu) improves the stability of imx6q cpu hotplug a lot, there are still hangs seen with a more stressful hotplug testing. It's expected that once imx_enable_cpu(cpu, false) is called, the cpu will be taken down by hardware immediately, and the code after that will not get any chance to execute. However, this is not always the case from the testing. The cpu could possibly be alive for a few cycles before hardware actually takes it down. So rather than letting cpu execute some code that could cause a hang in these cycles, let's make the cpu spin there and wait for hardware to take it down.

There is a system hang issue on imx6q which can easily be seen with running a cpu hotplug stress testing (hotplug secondary cores from user space via sysfs interface for thousands iterations). It turns out that the issue is caused by coherency of the cpu that is being shut down. When shutting down a cpu, we need to have the cpu exit coherency to prevent it from receiving cache, TLB, or BTB maintenance operations broadcast by other CPUs in the cluster. Copy cpu_enter_lowpower() and cpu_leave_lowpower() from mach-vexpress to have coherency properly handled in platform_cpu_die(), thus fix the issue.
