Commit 24be85a2 ("powerpc/powernv: Clear PECE1 in LPCR via stop-api only on Hotplug", 2017-07-21) added two calls to opal_slw_set_reg() inside pnv_cpu_offline(), with the aim of changing the LPCR value in the SLW image to disable wakeups from the decrementer while a CPU is offline. However, pnv_cpu_offline() gets called each time a secondary CPU thread is woken up to participate in running a KVM guest, that is, not just when a CPU is offlined. Since opal_slw_set_reg() is a very slow operation (with observed execution times around 20 milliseconds), this means that an offline secondary CPU can often be busy doing the opal_slw_set_reg() call when the primary CPU wants to grab all the secondary threads so that it can run a KVM guest. This leads to messages like "KVM: couldn't grab CPU n" being printed and guest execution failing. There is no need to reprogram the SLW image on every KVM guest entry and exit. So that we do it only when a CPU is really transitioning between online and offline, this moves the calls to pnv_program_cpu_hotplug_lpcr() into pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self().
