[RESEND PATCH v1] arch: riscv: jh7110: Correctly zero L2 LIM

Background information:
JH7110 SPL runs in L2 LIM (2M in size mapped at 0x8000000). It
consists of 16 0x20000 sized regions, each one can be used as
either L2 cache way or SRAM (not both). From top to bottom, there're
ways 0-15. The way 0 is always enabled, at most 0x1e0000 can be used.
In SPL, we don't enable any cache ways, thus all 15 (except way 0)
ways can be used. However, due to HW requirement, we must zero the
LIM before use. This is because ECC is applied to LIM, and if not
cleared first, the ECC part is invalid, which can trigger ECC errors
when reading/writing data.
There are several issues currently. We clear L2 LIM from __bss_end
to 0x81FFFFF in `harts_early_init`. This is wrong because:
a. Each hart (in the middle of a function call) overwriting its own
stack and other harts' stacks.
(data-race and data-corruption)
b. Lottery winner hart can be doing `board_init_f_init_reserve`,
while other harts're in the middle of zeroing L2 LIM.
(data-race)
To fix this, we split the job, such that there's one and only one
owner of zeroing a specific region (No data-race). A new SPL config
option `SPL_ZERO_MEM_BEFORE_USE` is introduced. Allowing The zeroing
to happen in the same code path. (much easier to reason about).
Another option `SPL_SYS_MALLOC_CLEAR_ON_INIT` also gets introduced.
It allows us to also zero late malloc (dlmalloc) area, in case it gets
configured to be inside L2 LIM (via `CUSTOM_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_ADDR`)
We by default enable it to be on the safe side.
`CONFIG_SPL_STACK` is adjusted to reduce the waste of L2 LIM space.
When setting
CONFIG_CUSTOM_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_ADDR=0x8100000
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE=0xe0000
A 0.875M late malloc arena is available in L2 LIM. It's sufficient for
loading JH7110 FIT Image (gzip compressed OpenSBI+UBOOT+DTB).
The advantage of this config is allowing OpenSBI/UBOOT to be loaded at
any DDR memory address. By default the malloc arena is configured in
DDR memory, so OpenSBI/UBOOT loading address must not collide with it.
CONFIG_CUSTOM_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_ADDR=0x80000000 (DDR +1GB)
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE=0x400000

CONFIG_STACK_SIZE_SHIFT=14
