powerpc/rtas: Fix a potential race between CPU-Offline & Migration
Live Partition Migrations require all the present CPUs to execute the H_JOIN call, and hence rtas_ibm_suspend_me() onlines any offline CPUs before initiating the migration for this purpose. The commit 85a88cab ("powerpc/pseries: Disable CPU hotplug across migrations") disables any CPU-hotplug operations once all the offline CPUs are brought online to prevent any further state change. Once the CPU-Hotplug operation is disabled, the code assumes that all the CPUs are online. However, there is a minor window in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() between onlining the offline CPUs and disabling CPU-Hotplug when a concurrent CPU-offline operations initiated by the userspace can succeed thereby nullifying the the aformentioned assumption. In this unlikely case these offlined CPUs will not call H_JOIN, resulting in a system hang. Fix this by verifying that all the present CPUs are actually online after CPU-Hotplug has been disabled, failing which we restore the state of the offline CPUs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() and return an -EBUSY.
