This and the next patch resolve memory corruption problems while CPU
hotplug. Without these patches, memory corruption can triggered easily
as below:

On a quad-core MIPS platform, use "spawn" of UnixBench-5.1.3 (http://
code.google.com/p/byte-unixbench/) and a CPU hotplug script like this
(hotplug.sh):
while true; do
echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
sleep 1
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
sleep 1
done

Run "hotplug.sh" and then run "spawn 10000", spawn will get segfault
after a few minutes.

This patch:
Currently, clear_page()/copy_page() are generated by Micro-assembler
dynamically. But they are unavailable until uasm_resolve_relocs() has
finished because jump labels are illegal before that. Since these
functions are shared by every CPU, we only call build_clear_page()/
build_copy_page() only once at boot time. Without this patch, programs
will get random memory corruption (segmentation fault, bus error, etc.)
while CPU Hotplug (e.g. one CPU is using clear_page() while another is
generating it in cpu_cache_init()).

For similar reasons we modify build_tlb_refill_handler()'s invocation.

V2:
1, Rework the code to make CPU#0 can be online/offline.
2, Introduce cpu_has_local_ebase feature since some types of MIPS CPU
   need a per-CPU tlb_refill_handler().
