[S390] cputime: fix lowcore initialization on cpu hotplug

Browse source 
On (initial) cpu hotplug the lowcore values for user_timer and
system_timer don't get initialized like they would get on each
process schedule.
On initial start of secondary cpus this leads to the situation
where per thread user/system_timer values are larger than the
corresponding contents of the lowcore. When later calculating
time spent in user/system context the result can be negative.

So for cpu hotplug we should manually initialize lowcore values.

Fixes this bug:
