powerpc/pseries/vas: Migration suspend waits for no in-progress open windows

The hypervisor returns migration failure if all VAS windows are not
closed. During pre-migration stage, vas_migration_handler() sets
migration_in_progress flag and closes all windows from the list.
The allocate VAS window routine checks the migration flag, setup
the window and then add it to the list. So there is possibility of
the migration handler missing the window that is still in the
process of setup.

t1: Allocate and open VAS	t2: Migration event
    window

lock vas_pseries_mutex
If migration_in_progress set
  unlock vas_pseries_mutex
  return
open window HCALL
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Modify window HCALL		lock vas_pseries_mutex
setup window			migration_in_progress=true
				Closes all windows from the list
				// May miss windows that are
				// not in the list
				unlock vas_pseries_mutex
lock vas_pseries_mutex		return
if nr_closed_windows == 0
  // No DLPAR CPU or migration
  add window to the list
  // Window will be added to the
  // list after the setup is completed
  unlock vas_pseries_mutex
  return
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Close VAS window
// due to DLPAR CPU or migration
return -EBUSY

This patch resolves the issue with the following steps:
- Set the migration_in_progress flag without holding mutex.
- Introduce nr_open_wins_progress counter in VAS capabilities
  struct
- This counter tracks the number of open windows are still in
  progress
- The allocate setup window thread closes windows if the migration
  is set and decrements nr_open_window_progress counter
- The migration handler waits for no in-progress open windows.

The code flow with the fix is as follows:

t1: Allocate and open VAS       t2: Migration event
    window

lock vas_pseries_mutex
If migration_in_progress set
   unlock vas_pseries_mutex
   return
open window HCALL
nr_open_wins_progress++
// Window opened, but not
// added to the list yet
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Modify window HCALL		migration_in_progress=true
setup window			lock vas_pseries_mutex
				Closes all windows from the list
				While nr_open_wins_progress {
				    unlock vas_pseries_mutex
lock vas_pseries_mutex		    sleep
if nr_closed_windows == 0	    // Wait if any open window in
or migration is not started	    // progress. The open window
   // No DLPAR CPU or migration	    // thread closes the window without
   add window to the list	    // adding to the list and return if
   nr_open_wins_progress--	    // the migration is in progress.
   unlock vas_pseries_mutex
   return
Close VAS window
nr_open_wins_progress--
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
return -EBUSY			    lock vas_pseries_mutex
				}
				unlock vas_pseries_mutex
				return
