cpuidle: (POWER) Replace pseries_notify_cpuidle_add call with a notifier to fix lockdep problem in start_secondary

From: Deepthi Dharwar <[email protected]>

Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add(), that takes action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This works fine when the cpus were hot added/removed once the system is up but causes lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2
during the time of boot.

During boot, on addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical section as part of start_secondary() which had interrupts disabled. To resolve this issue, replacing the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call with a hotplug notifier. This would prevent cpuidle resources from being released and allocated each time cpu is onlined during pseries bootup.

PATCH 1/1 cpuidle:(POWER) Fixes for pseries_idle hotplug notifier

cpuidle:(POWER) Fixes for pseries_idle hotplug notifier

From: Deepthi Dharwar <[email protected]>

Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu(), that takes action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This caused lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2

On addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical section as part of start_secondary() call were interrupts are disabled. To resolve this issue, the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call is is being replaced by a hotplug notifier which
would prevent cpuidle resources from being
released and allocated each time cpu is onlined in the critical code path. It was fixed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/18/174.

Also it is essential to call cpuidle_enable/disable_device between cpuidle_pause_and_lock() and cpuidle_resume_and_unlock() when used externally to avoid race conditions. Add support for CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN and CPU_DEAD_FROZEN as part of hotplug notify event for pseries_idle and unregister hotplug notifier while exiting out. The above mentioned issues
are fixed as part of this patch.
