MIPS: smp-cps: Fix retrieval of VPE mask on big endian CPUs

Browse Source 
The vpe_mask member of struct core_boot_config is of type atomic_t,
which is a 32bit type. In cps-vec.S this member was being retrieved by a
PTR_L macro, which on 64bit systems is a 64bit load. On little endian
systems this is OK, since the double word that is retrieved will have
the required less significant word in the correct position. However, on
big endian systems the less significant word of the load is retrieved
from address+4, and the more significant from address+0. The destination
register therefore ends up with the required word in the more
significant word
e.g. when starting the second VP of a big endian 64bit system, the load

PTR_L    ta2, COREBOOTCFG_VPEMASK(a0)

ends up setting register ta2 to 0x0000000300000000

When this value is written to the CPC it is ignored, since it is
invalid to write anything larger than 4 bits. This results in any VP
other than VP0 in a core failing to start in 64bit big endian systems.

Change the load to a 32bit load word instruction to fix the bug.
