When a CPU is powered down using PSCI CPU OFF API, it disables its caches
and updates its `aff_info_state` to OFF. The corresponding cache line is
invalidated by the CPU so that the update will be observed by other CPUs
running with caches enabled. There is a possibility that another CPU
which has been trying to turn ON this CPU via PSCI CPU ON API,
has already seen the update to `aff_info_state` and proceeds to update
the state to ON_PENDING prior to the cache invalidation. This may result
in the update of the state to ON_PENDING being discarded.

This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the update of `aff_info_state`
to ON_PENDING sticks by reading back the value after the cache flush and
retrying it if not updated. The patch also adds a dsbish() to
`psci_do_cpu_off()` to ensure ordering of the update to `aff_info_state`
prior to cache line invalidation.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#349
