[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH] ARM: create .secure_stack section only for PSCI

Jon Master reports that QEMU refuses to load a U-Boot image built with CONFIG_ARMV7_NONSEC, but without CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI since commit 5a3aae68c74e ("ARM: armv7: guard memory reserve for PSCI with #ifdef CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI").
It looks like only PSCI that needs the Secure stack, so move the #ifdef to guard the whole of .secure_stack allocation in order not to create the empty section.

With this commit, the SECURE_MAX_SIZE check will go inside the #ifdef CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI, so this patch is probably wrong.
I am CCing Chen-Yu Tsai. He mostly expanded this linker script for PSCI work, so I hope he can suggest the correct way for fixing this problem.

I wonder if you could move the SECURE_MAX_SIZE check outside of the secure_stack section. I might have put it where it is because of some issues, but I can't remember.

The patch looks good. Though I wonder if you need to guard the __secure_stack_start and __secure_stack_end symbols in arch/arm/lib/sections.c as well. Otherwise they might end up in the data section?

We're close I think, but this breaks boards like ls1021aqds_nor_lpuart

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
... and no, I don't know how / why this caused build failures before, but it did and I replicated it at the time too. But I just got a clean build everywhere. And I've added vexpress-a15 and vexpress-a9 via QEMU to my test setup now.
