[v2 PATCH] powernv:idle: Fix bug due to labeling ambiguity in power_enter_stop

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit 09206b600c76 ("powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to
power9_idle_stop") added additional code in power_enter_stop() to
distinguish between stop requests whose PSSCR had ESL=EC=1 from those
which did not. When ESL=EC=1, we do a forward-jump to a location
labelled by "1", which had the code to handle the ESL=EC=1 case.

Unforunately just a couple of instructions before this label, is the
macro IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ() which also has a label "1" in its
expansion.

As a result, the current code can result in directly executing stop
instruction for deep stop requests with PSSCR ESL=EC=1, without saving
the hypervisor state.

Fix this BUG by labeling the location that handles ESL=EC=1 case with
a more descriptive label ".Lhandle_esl_ec_set" (local label suggestion
a la .Lxx from Anton Blanchard).

While at it, rename the label "2" labelling the location of the code
handling entry into deep stop states with ".Lhandle_deep_stop".

For a good measure, change the label in IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ() macro
to an not-so commonly used value in order to avoid similar mishaps in
the future.

Fixes: 09206b600c76 ("powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to
power9_idle_stop")

Changes from v1: 
  a) Use local label style for the updated descriptive label names.
  b) Add descriptive label to code handling entry into deep stop states.
