sched/scs: Reset the shadow stack when idle_task_exit

There was a 'init_idle' that resets scs sp to base, but is removed by
f1a0a376ca0c. Without the resetting, the hot-plugging implemented by
cpu_psci_cpu_boot will use the previous scs sp as new base when starting
up a CPU core, so the usage on scs page is being stacked up until
overflow.

This only happens on idle task since __cpu_up is using idle task as the
main thread to start up a CPU core, so the overflow can be fixed by
resetting scs sp to base in 'idle_task_exit'.

Fixes: f1a0a376ca0c ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled")
