ARM: 8451/1: v7-M: Set an early stack for __v7m_setup
On ARM v7-M, when PROCINFO_INITFUNC (__v7m_setup) is called, a stack is needed before calling the supervisor call (SVC), which is used by the supervisor call to save the context. Currently, __v7m_setup() prepares a temporary stack in the .text.init section, which is is broken if the kernel is executing directly from read-only memory. In particular, this is the case for LPC43xx, which allows to execute the kernel in-place from a serial flash through its SPIFI controller. This commit fixes the issue by seting an early stack to its usual location. Also, __v7m_setup() is currently saving and restoring the previous stack. That was bogus, because there's no stack previously set, so this commit removes it.
