With Feb 27 next tree I am seeing inconsistent results on a CPU remove
DLPAR operation on a POWER8 LPAR.

After the cpu remove operation the SMT capability of the LPAR is disabled.

After a DLPAR operation (CPU remove : 2 to 1) all the cpu seems to be
removed. at the end of it I also see a warning @lib/refcount.c:128
SMT capability is show as disabled. It should have remained at 8.

# ppc64_cpu —smt
Machine is not SMT capable
lscpu o/p shows 8  online cpus, with threads per core as 8.
