First, they all start out zeroed. There's no point doing an initial
cpumask_clear() on them.

Next, only cpu_online_map may be altered post-boot, and even that only
rarely. Add respective placement attributes.

Finally, cpu_present_map really isn't anything more than an alias of
cpu_possible_map. Avoid the copying, and have the linker provide the
symbol (if needed in the first place; it is needed right now as
common code references the symbol).

I would have preferred to use __attribute__((alias(...))), but that
apparently (and following the doc) can't be used when a declaration of
the to-be-provided symbol is present earlier. 

With the cpumask_clear()s dropped, the containing function's name is
now yet more out of sync with what the function does. On x86 we call a
similar thing smp_prepare_boot_cpu().

With x86 getting away without cpu_possible_map I wonder if we shouldn't
globally fold that and cpu_present_map, under whichever is deemed the
more suitable name of the two. There's little point in having new ports
adding perhaps yet more inconsistencies there.
