powerpc/pseries/mobility: use stop_machine for join/suspend
The partition suspend sequence as specified in the platform architecture requires that all active processor threads call H_JOIN, which: - suspends the calling thread until it is the target of an H_PROD; or - immediately returns H_CONTINUE, if the calling thread is the last to call H_JOIN. This thread is expected to call ibm,suspend-me to completely suspend the partition. Upon returning from ibm,suspend-me the calling thread must wake all others using H_PROD. rtas_ibm_suspend_me_unsafe() uses on_each_cpu() to implement this protocol, but because of its synchronizing nature this is susceptible to deadlock versus users of stop_machine() or other callers of on_each_cpu(). Not only is stop_machine() intended for use cases like this, it handles error propagation and allows us to keep the data shared between CPUs minimal: a single atomic counter which ensures exactly one CPU will wake the others from their joined states. Switch the migration code to use stop_machine() and a less complex local implementation of the H_JOIN/ibm,suspend-me logic, which carries additional benefits: - more informative error reporting, appropriately ratelimited - resets the lockup detector / watchdog on resume to prevent lockup warnings when the OS has been suspended for a time exceeding the threshold.
