[BUG,non-patch] Octeon kexec ftbfs and unusable

Commit Message

The kernel for Octeon fails to build with kexec enabled, and
the bellow patch makes it buildable.

While in fact the kexec for octeon is not usable at all.
It will hang after:
   Checking for the daddiu bug... no.

I tried to delete the bellow line or replace it with
   kexec_nonboot_cpu_jump();

The 4.19, and even 4.9 without ftbfs also hangs at the same place.
