[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>:
  11325c:       eb 9f f0 60 00 24       stmg    %r9,%r15,96(%r15)

  11327c:       a7 29 00 01             lghi    %r2,1
  113280:       e3 e0 f0 98 00 24       stg     %r14,152(%r15)
  113286:       d7 97 c0 00 c0 00       xc      0(152,%r12),0(%r12)
  11328c:       c0 e5 00 28 db 4c       brasl   %r14,62e924 <add_e..>
  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".
