[PATCH v2 2/3] powerpc: move checks in pseries_mach_cpu_die()

	Rearrange condition checks for better code readability and
	prevention of possible race conditions when
	preferred_offline_state can potentially change during the
	execution of pseries_mach_cpu_die().  The patch will make
	pseries_mach_cpu_die() put cpu in one of the consistent states
	and not hit the run over BUG()
