[U-Boot] [PATCH] MIPS: Hang if run on a secondary CPU

Some systems are configured such that multiple CPUs begin running from
their reset vector following a system reset. If this occurs then U-Boot
will be run on multiple CPUs simultaneously, which causes all sorts of
issues as the multiple instances of U-Boot clobber each other.

Prevent this from happening by simply hanging with an infinite loop if
we run on a CPU whose ID, as determined by GlobalNumber or EBase.CPUNum
as appropriate, is non-zero.
