armv8: fsl-layerscape: Fix "cpu release" command
When one core is released, other cores may not have valid entry address. Those cores are trapped by "wfe" and wait for further instruction. When their address is set, they need to be kicked off by "sev". Signed-off-by: York Sun <yorksun@freescale.com>
