[PATCH] powerpc: avoid timer interrupt replay effect when onlining cpu

When a cpu is hotplug-onlined, if we don't set per_cpu(last_jiffy) to
something sane, timer_interrupt will execute its while loop for every
tick missed since the cpu was last online (or since the system was
booted, if we're adding a new cpu).  This can cause weird hangs, ssh
sessions dropping, and we can even go xmon if we take a global IPI at
the wrong time.
