powerpc/pseries: correctly track irq state in default idle

[ Upstream commit 92c94dfb ]

prep_irq_for_idle() is intended to be called before entering
H_CEDE (and it is used by the pseries cpuidle driver). However the
default pseries idle routine does not call it, leading to mismanaged
lazy irq state when the cpuidle driver isn't in use. Manifestations of
this include:

* Dropped IPIs in the time immediately after a cpu comes
  online (before it has installed the cpuidle handler), making the
  online operation block indefinitely waiting for the new cpu to
  respond.

* Hitting this WARN_ON in arch_local_irq_restore():
	/*
	 * We should already be hard disabled here. We had bugs
	 * where that wasn't the case so let's dbl check it and
	 * warn if we are wrong. Only do that when IRQ tracing
	 * is enabled as mfmsr() can be costly.
	 */
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(mfmsr() & MSR_EE))
		__hard_irq_disable();

Call prep_irq_for_idle() from pseries_lpar_idle() and honor its
result.
