armv8: release slave cores from CPU_RELEASE_ADDR

When using ARMv8 with ARMV8_SPIN_TABLE=y, we want the slave cores to
wait on spin_table_cpu_release_addr, until the Linux kernel will "wake" them
by writing to that location. The address of spin_table_cpu_release_addr is
transferred to the kernel using the device tree that is updated by
spin_table_update_dt().

However, if we also use SPL, then the slave cores are stuck at
CPU_RELEASE_ADDR instead and as a result, never wake up.

This patch releases the slave cores by writing spl_image->entry_point to
CPU_RELEASE_ADDR location before the end of the SPL code
(at jump_to_image_no_args()).

That way, the slave cores will start to execute the u-boot and will get to
the spin-table code and wait on the correct address
(spin_table_cpu_release_addr).
