Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires
that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one
of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function:

  * the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or
  * the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition
    resumes execution

Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by
commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into
an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are
offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two
states before a partition suspension can proceed.

This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac ("powerpc: Bring
all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code
to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call
H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had
multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user
space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates
user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform
feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads.

With commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU
into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes
unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly
offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary
to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline
again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN;
stopped threads can be left alone.
