Nathan Lynch 53770a4115 powerpc/smp: do not decrement idle task preempt count in CPU offline 
[ Upstream commit 787252a10d ]

With PREEMPT_COUNT=y, when a CPU is offlined and then onlined again, we
get:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000000
no locks held by swapper/1/0.
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc2+ #100
Call Trace:
 dump_stack_lvl+0xac/0x108
 __schedule_bug+0xac/0xe0
 __schedule+0xcf8/0x10d0
 schedule_idle+0x3c/0x70
 do_idle+0x2d8/0x4a0
 cpu_startup_entry+0x38/0x40
 start_secondary+0x2ec/0x3a0
 start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14

This is because powerpc's arch_cpu_idle_dead() decrements the idle task's
preempt count, for reasons explained in commit a7c2bb8279 ("powerpc:
Re-enable preemption before cpu_die()"), specifically "start_secondary()
expects a preempt_count() of 0."

However, since commit 2c669ef697 ("powerpc/preempt: Don't touch the idle
task's preempt_count during hotplug") and commit f1a0a376ca ("sched/core:
Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled"), that justification no
longer holds.

The idle task isn't supposed to re-enable preemption, so remove the
vestigial preempt_enable() from the CPU offline path.

Tested with pseries and powernv in qemu, and pseries on PowerVM.

Fixes: 2c669ef697 ("powerpc/preempt: Don't touch the idle task's preempt_count during hotplug")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
