ARM: Mark SP as being clobbered in arm_setup_stack()
Not sure why it was working before, but with recent update of AArch64
GCC to 8.1.1 on my Fedora 28 machine, compiling barebox_arm_entry()
yields the following assembly:

0000000000002aac <barebox_arm_entry>:
    2aac:	a9bd7bfd 	stp	x29, x30, [sp, #-48]!
    2ab0:	d1404023 	sub	x3, x1, #0x10, lsl #12
    2ab4:	d1004063 	sub	x3, x3, #0x10
    2ab8:	910003fd 	mov	x29, sp
    2abc:	8b000063 	add	x3, x3, x0
    2ac0:	a90153f3 	stp	x19, x20, [sp, #16]
    2ac4:	aa0003f3 	mov	x19, x0
    2ac8:	aa0103f4 	mov	x20, x1
    2acc:	f90017e2 	str	x2, [sp, #40] <-- storing 'boarddata' on old stack
    2ad0:	9100007f 	mov	sp, x3 <-- setting up new stack
    2ad4:	97ffffdd 	bl	2a48 <arm_early_mmu_cache_invalidate>
    2ad8:	f94017e2 	ldr	x2, [sp, #40] <--- sadness
    2adc:	aa1403e1 	mov	x1, x20
    2ae0:	aa1303e0 	mov	x0, x19
    2ae4:	940000a1 	bl	2d68 <barebox_multi_pbl_start>

Which result in AArch64 image (i.MX8MQ) not being bootable. With SP
marked as clobbered, the above assembly changes to the following:

0000000000002aac <barebox_arm_entry>:
    2aac:	a9bd7bfd 	stp	x29, x30, [sp, #-48]!
    2ab0:	d1404023 	sub	x3, x1, #0x10, lsl #12
    2ab4:	d1004063 	sub	x3, x3, #0x10
    2ab8:	910003fd 	mov	x29, sp
    2abc:	a90153f3 	stp	x19, x20, [sp, #16]
    2ac0:	8b000063 	add	x3, x3, x0
    2ac4:	aa0003f3 	mov	x19, x0
    2ac8:	aa0103f4 	mov	x20, x1
    2acc:	f90017a2 	str	x2, [x29, #40]
    2ad0:	9100007f 	mov	sp, x3
    2ad4:	97ffffdd 	bl	2a48 <arm_early_mmu_cache_invalidate>
    2ad8:	f94017a2 	ldr	x2, [x29, #40]
    2adc:	aa1403e1 	mov	x1, x20
    2ae0:	aa1303e0 	mov	x0, x19
    2ae4:	940000a1 	bl	2d68 <barebox_multi_pbl_start>

now x29 is used to access stored x2 which avoids the problem and
allows the system to boot correctly.

The change is a no-op on AArch32.
