PATCH 1/1 ARM: kvm: prevent freeing boot_hyp_pgd when CPU_PM is selected

The boot_hyp_pgd is required to install HYP context through cpu_init_hyp_mode, on cold-boot for primary and secondary cpus, but also on the warm-boot path for secondaries (ie when a CPU is hotplugged in). On platforms with power management capabilities (eg suspend to RAM or idle-states that allow the core to enter deep idle where core is shutdown on power down entry), the boot_hyp_pgd is required to restore HYP context too upon CPU_PM notification, so the boot_hyp_pgd must not be freed to guarantee a proper HYP context restore, which in turn ensures proper core resume from low-power.

This patch adds an additional guard to free_boot_hyp_pgd() to remove its call from the kernel if CPU_PM is enabled, so that on platforms where HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled (eg UP), CPU_PM operations (suspend and CPUidle) are still guaranteed to function.

Without knowing a lot about power management in Linux and exactly what these defines mean, I'm fine with this:
