Subject: powerpc/pseries: Make RAS IRQ explicitly dependent on DLPAR WQ

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>


[ Upstream commit e2d5915293ffdff977ddcfc12b817b08c53ffa7a ]

The hotplug code uses its own workqueue to handle IRQ requests
(pseries_hp_wq), however that workqueue is initialized after
init_ras_IRQ(). That can lead to a kernel panic if any hotplug
interrupts fire after init_ras_IRQ() but before pseries_hp_wq is
initialised. eg:

This commit makes the RAS IRQ registration explicitly dependent on the
creation of the pseries_hp_wq.
