The last few instructions of secondary_entry had the right concept, but were the totally wrong implementation. Without setting ra, then, when the boot function doesn't stay in an infinite loop, like do_idle() would, we'd go off into the weeds when trying to return from it. Make sure we set ra to come back to where we can then call do_idle() instead. The bug was found by inspection since nobody is calling smp_boot_secondary() with anything other than do_idle() at this time.
