[PATCH v3 2/2] powerpc/pseries: Wait for completion of hotplug events during PRRN handling

[John Allen]

While handling PRRN events, the time to handle the actual hotplug events
dwarfs the time it takes to perform the device tree updates and queue the
hotplug events. In the case that PRRN events are being queued continuously,
hotplug events have been observed to be queued faster than the kernel can
actually handle them. This patch avoids the problem by waiting for a
hotplug request to complete before queueing more hotplug events.
