powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdown
In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance) but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU -1... Kaboom! We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines. There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode. Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before guaranteeing that no more will be received. This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs, rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode. It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.
