[S390] smp: fix prefix handling of offlined cpus
Offlined cpus still have valid prefix register contents. Dumpers will store the register contents of a cpu to the location where its prefix register points to. For offlined cpus the area (lowcore) has been freed and the dumper would write the uninteresting contents of the offline cpu to a memory location which might be in use by some other component and destroy valueable information. To fix this set the prefix register of offline cpus to absolute address zero again. This prevents the current dumpers to write to random memory locations.
