powerpc/ps3: Fix lost SMP IPIs
Fixes the PS3 bootup hang introduced in 3.0-rc1 by: commit 317f3941 sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu Move the PS3's LV1 EOI call lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() from ps3_chip_eoi() to ps3_get_irq() for IPI messages. If lv1_send_event_locally() is called between a previous call to lv1_send_event_locally() and the coresponding call to lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() the second event will not be delivered to the target cpu. The PS3's SMP IPIs are implemented using lv1_send_event_locally(), so if two IPI messages of the same type are sent to the same target in a relatively short period of time the second IPI event can become lost when lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() is called from ps3_chip_eoi().
