Put __cpu_up_stack_pointer and __cpu_up_task_pointer in data section.
Currently, these two variables are put in bss section, there is a
potential risk that secondary harts get the uninitialized value before
main hart finishing the bss clearing. In this case, all secondary
harts would pass the waiting loop and enable the MMU before main hart
set up the page table.
This issue happened on random booting of multiple harts, which means
it will manifest for BBL and OpenSBI which older than v0.6. In OpenSBI
v0.7 (or higher version), we have HSM extension so all the secondary
harts are brought-up by Linux kernel in an orderly fashion. This means
we don't need this change for OpenSBI v0.7 (or higher version).
Changes in v2 and v3:
- Add commit description about random booting.
