s390/smp: Fix calling smp_call_ipl_cpu() from ipl CPU

When calling smp_call_ipl_cpu() from the IPL CPU, we will try to read
from pcpu_devices->lowcore. However, due to prefixing, that will result
in reading from absolute address 0 on that CPU. We have to go via the
actual lowcore instead.

This means that right now, we will read lc->nodat_stack == 0 and
therfore work on a very wrong stack.

This BUG essentially broke rebooting under QEMU TCG (which will report
a low address protection exception). And checking under KVM, it is
also broken under KVM. With 1 VCPU it can be easily triggered.
