ARM: Fix subtle race in CPU pen_release hotplug code

There is a subtle race in the CPU hotplug code, where a CPU which has
been offlined can online itself before being requested, which results
in things going astray on the next online/offline cycle.

What happens in the normal online/offline/online cycle is:

	CPU0			CPU3
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1
	... requests CPU3 offline ...
				... dies ...
				checks pen_release, reads -1
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1

However, as the write of -1 of pen_release is not fully flushed back to
memory, and the checking of pen_release is done with caches disabled,
this allows CPU3 the opportunity to read the old value of pen_release:

	CPU0			CPU3
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1
	... requests CPU3 offline ...
				... dies ...
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line

Fix this by grouping the write of pen_release along with its cache line
flushing code to ensure that any update to pen_release is always pushed
out to physical memory.
