[ Upstream commit ac1788cc7da4ce54edcfd2e499afdb0a23d5c41d ]

With commit 2ea626306810 ("powerpc/topology: Get topology for shared
processors at boot"), kdump kernel on shared LPAR may crash.

The necessary conditions are
- Shared LPAR with at least 2 nodes having memory and CPUs.
- Memory requirement for kdump kernel must be met by the first N-1
nodes where there are at least N nodes with memory and CPUs.

Example numactl of such a machine.
$ numactl -H
available: 5 nodes (0,2,5-7)
node 0 cpus:
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 2 cpus:
node 2 size: 255 MB
node 2 free: 189 MB
node 5 cpus: 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
node 5 size: 4095 MB
node 5 free: 4024 MB
node 6 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
node 6 size: 6353 MB
node 6 free: 5998 MB
node 7 cpus: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
node 7 size: 7640 MB
node 7 free: 7164 MB
node distances:
node 0 2 5 6 7
0: 10 40 40 40 40
2: 40 10 40 40 40
5: 40 40 10 40 40
6: 40 40 40 10 20
7: 40 40 40 20 10

Steps to reproduce.
1. Load / start kdump service.
2. Trigger a kdump (for example : echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger)

When booting a kdump kernel with 2048M:

kexec: Starting switchover sequence.

However a regular kernel with 4096M (2048 gets reserved for crash
kernel) boots properly.

Unlike regular kernels, which mark all available nodes as online,
kdump kernel only marks just enough nodes as online and marks the rest
as offline at boot. However kdump kernel boots with all available
CPUs. With Commit 2ea626306810 ("powerpc/topology: Get topology for
shared processors at boot"), all CPUs are onlined on their respective
nodes at boot time. try_online_node() tries to online the offline
nodes but fails as all needed subsystems are not yet initialized.

As part of fix, detect and skip early onlining of a offline node.
