MIPS: Initialise MAARs on secondary CPUs
MAARs should be initialised on each CPU (or rather, core) in the system in order to achieve consistent behaviour & performance. Previously they have only been initialised on the boot CPU which leads to performance problems if tasks are later scheduled on a secondary CPU, particularly if those tasks make use of unaligned vector accesses where some CPUs don't handle any cases in hardware for non-speculative memory regions. Fix this by recording the MAAR configuration from the boot CPU and applying it to secondary CPUs as part of their bringup.
