arm64: Survive invalid cpu enable-methods

Currently, if you pass the kernel a dtb where a cpu node has an
unsupported enable-method property (e.g. "not-psci"), it'll explode
horribly, as it iterates over the enable_ops array incorrectly. It
increments the pointer *at* the current element, rather than
incrementing the pointer *to* the current element. As the first two
elements pointed to structures that were contiguous in memory, this
happened to be equivalent. However the third element is NULL, so when
the list is exhausted, smp_get_enable_ops generates the wrong pointer,
and dereferences an arbitrary portion of memory, which currently happens
to contain zero.

This patch fixes this by indirecting the pointer one level, so we
iterate over the array elements correctly, avoiding the below panic:
