Subject: powerpc/perf/imc: Fix nest-imc cpuhotplug callback failure

From: Anju T Sudhakar <anju@linux.vnet.ibm.com>


[ Upstream commit ad2b6e01024ef23bddc3ce0bcb115ecd8c520b7e ]

Oops is observed during boot:

  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000248340
  cpu 0x0: Vector: 380 (Data Access Out of Range) at [c000000ff66fb850]

     msr: 9000000000009033
     dar: 7d20e2a6f92d03c0
    pid = 14, comm = cpuhp/0

While registering the cpuhotplug callbacks for nest-imc, if we fail in
the cpuhotplug online path for any random node in a multi node
system (because the opal call to stop nest-imc counters fails for that
node), ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline() will get invoked for other nodes who
successfully returned from cpuhotplug online path.

This call trace is generated since in the ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline()
path we are trying to migrate the event context, when nest-imc
counters are not even initialized.

Patch to add a check to ensure that nest-imc is registered before
migrating the event context.
