[S390] Fix stfle() lowcore protection problem
The stfle() function writes into lowcore memory when stfl_fac_list
is initialized with "S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list = 0". For older
compilers this triggers a lowcore exception. With newer compilers
and "-OXX" compile option the bug does not show up because
the "S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list" initialization is removed by the
compiler. The reason for thatis the incorrect "=m"
(S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list) constraint in the stfl inline assembly.
The following shows the disassembly of the stfle() optimized code
that is inlined in the lgr_info_get() function:
000000000011325c <lgr_info_get>:

113292: b2 b1 00 00 stfl 0
To fix the problem we now clear the S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list at
startup in "head.S" for all machine types before lowcore protection
is enabled.
In addition to that the "=m" constraint is replaced by "+m".
