[PATCH] powerpc/powernv/cpuidle: Pass correct drv->cpumask for registration

drv->cpumask defaults to cpu_possible_mask in __cpuidle_driver_init().
This breaks cpuidle on powernv where sysfs files are not created for
cpus in cpu_possible_mask that cannot be hot-added.

Trying cpuidle_register_device() on cpu without sysfs node will
cause crash like:

This patch fixes the issue by passing correct cpumask from
powernv-cpuidle driver.
