powerpc/pseries/vas: Reopen windows with DLPAR core add
VAS windows can be closed in the hypervisor due to lost credits when the core is removed and the kernel gets fault for NX requests on these inactive windows. If the NX requests are issued on these inactive windows, OS gets page faults and the paste failure will be returned to the user space. If the lost credits are available later with core add, reopen these windows and set them active. Later when the OS sees page faults on these active windows, it creates mapping on the new paste address. Then the user space can continue to use these windows and send HW compression requests to NX successfully.
