ARM: ensure that processor vtables is not lost after boot
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852110 Commit 3a4d0c21 upstream. Marek Szyprowski reported problems with CPU hotplug in current kernels. This was tracked down to the processor vtables being located in an init section, and therefore discarded after kernel boot, despite being required after boot to properly initialise the non-boot CPUs. Arrange for these tables to end up in .rodata when required.
