Bring in yet another series that touches KVM code, and might need to
be merged into the kvm-ppc branch to resolve conflicts.

This required some changes in pnv_power9_force_smt4_catch/release()
due to the paca array becomming an array of pointers.

Move this into the early setup code, and don't iterate over CPU masks.
We don't want to call into sysfs so early from setup, and a future patch
won't initialize CPU masks by the time this is called.

<title>powerpc/64: Use array of paca pointers and allocate pacas individually</title>

<content type='text'>
Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate
pacas individually.

This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work
will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits
on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot
rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused.

This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross
CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

The thread switch control register (TSCR) is a per core register
that configures how the CPU shares resources between SMT threads.

Exposing it via sysfs allows us to tune it at run time.

Take the DSCR value set by firmware as the dscr_default value,
rather than zero.

POWER9 recommends DSCR default to a non-zero value.

<title>powerpc/sysfs: Move #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU out of the function body</title>

The entire body of unregister_cpu_online() is inside an #ifdef
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU block. This is ugly and means we create an empty function
when hotplug is disabled for no reason.

Instead move the #ifdef out of the function body and define the function to be
NULL in the else case. This means we'll pass NULL to cpuhp_setup_state(), but
that's fine because it accepts NULL to mean there is no teardown callback, which
is exactly what we want.

<title>powerpc/sysfs: Fix reference leak of cpu device_nodes present at boot</title>

<content type='text'>
For CPUs present at boot each logical CPU acquires a reference to the
associated device node of the core. This happens in register_cpu() which
is called by topology_init(). The result of this is that we end up with
a reference held by each thread of the core. However, these references
are never freed if the CPU core is DLPAR removed.

This patch fixes the reference leaks by acquiring and releasing the references
in the CPU hotplug callbacks un/register_cpu_online(). With this patch symmetric
reference counting is observed with both CPUs present at boot, and those DLPAR
added after boot.

Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
the callbacks on the already online CPUs.

The previous convention of keeping the files around until the CPU is dead
has not been preserved as there is no point to keep them available when the
cpu is going down. This makes the hotplug call symmetric.
