[ Upstream commit 801980f6497946048709b9b09771a1729551d705 ]

For a power9 KVM guest with XIVE enabled, running a test loop
where we hotplug 384 vcpus and then unplug them, the following traces
can be seen (generally within a few loops) either from the unplugged
vcpu:

cpu 65 (hwid 65) Ready to die...
Querying DEAD? cpu 66 (66) shows 2
list_del corruption. next->prev should be c00a000002470208, but was c00a000002470048

The latter trace is due to the following sequence:

page_alloc_cpu_dead
drain_pages
drain_pages_zone
free_pcppages_bulk

where drain_pages() in this case is called under the assumption that
the unplugged cpu is no longer executing. To ensure that is the case,
and early call is made to __cpu_die()->pseries_cpu_die(), which runs a
loop that waits for the cpu to reach a halted state by polling its
status via query-cpu-stopped-state RTAS calls. It only polls for 25
iterations before giving up, however, and in the trace above this
results in the following being printed only .1 seconds after the
hotplug worker thread begins processing the unplug request:

pseries-hotplug-cpu: Attempting to remove CPU <NULL>, drc index: 1000013a
Querying DEAD? cpu 314 (314) shows 2

At that point the worker thread assumes the unplugged CPU is in some
unknown/dead state and procedes with the cleanup, causing the race
with the XIVE cleanup code executed by the unplugged CPU.

Fix this by waiting indefinitely, but also making an effort to avoid
spurious lockup messages by allowing for rescheduling after polling
the CPU status and printing a warning if we wait for longer than 120s.
