[PATCH] Fix CPU hotplug when using the SLB shadow buffer

Before we register the SLB shadow buffer, we need to invalidate the
entries in the buffer otherwise we can end up stale entries from when we
offlined the CPU.

This patch does this invalidate as well as unregistering the buffer with
PHYP before we offline the cpu.  Tested and fixes crashes seen on 970MP
(thanks to tonyb) and POWER5.
