This issue seems to be only on the latest master branch of
Linux stable tree so this fix need not be a stable fix.

For MMU kernel, the CSR_TVEC is setup in relocate() function
called from secondary_start_common() function of head.S

For NoMMU kernel, we should set CSR_TVEC directly in
secondary_start_common() function as "#else" case of the
"#ifdef CONFIG_MMU".
