Nicholas Piggin de6e5d3841 powerpc: smp_send_stop do not offline stopped CPUs
Marking CPUs stopped by smp_send_stop as offline can cause warnings
due to cross-CPU wakeups. This trace was noticed on a busy system
running a sysrq+c crash test, after the injected crash:

This happens because firstly the CPU is not really offline in the
usual sense, processes and interrupts have not been migrated away.
Secondly smp_send_stop does not happen atomically on all CPUs, so
one CPU can have marked itself offline, while another CPU is still
running processes or interrupts which can affect the first CPU.

Fix this by just not marking the CPU as offline. It's more like
frozen in time, so offline does not really reflect its state properly
anyway. There should be nothing in the crash/panic path that walks
online CPUs and synchronously waits for them, so this change should
not introduce new hangs.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
