[POWERPC] Initialize paca->current earlier
Currently, we initialize the "current" pointer in the PACA (which is used by the "current" macro in the kernel) before calling setup_system(). That means that early_setup() is called with current still "NULL" which is -not- a good idea. It happens to work so far but breaks with lockdep when early code calls printk. This changes it so that all PACAs are statically initialized with __current pointing to the init task. For non-0 CPUs, this is fixed up before use.
