In the debug build of the function get_power_on_target_afflvl(), there is a
check to ensure that the CPU is emerging from a SUSPEND or ON_PENDING state.
The state is checked without acquiring the lock for the CPU node. The state
could be updated to ON_PENDING in psci_afflvl_on() after the target CPU has
been powered up. This results in a race condition which could cause the
check for the ON_PENDING state in get_power_on_target_afflvl() to fail.
This patch resolves this race condition by setting the state of the target
CPU to ON_PENDING before the platform port attempts to power it on. The
target CPU is thus guaranteed to read the correct the state. In case
the power on operation fails, the state of the CPU is restored to OFF.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#302
