[PATCH v02] powerpc/pseries: Check for ceded CPU's during LPAR migration

This patch is to check for cede'ed CPUs during LPM.  Some extreme
tests encountered a problem ehere Linux has put some threads to
sleep (possibly to save energy or something), LPM was attempted,
and the Linux kernel didn't awaken the sleeping threads, but issued
the H_JOIN for the active threads.  Since the sleeping threads
are not awake, they can not issue the expected H_JOIN, and the
partition would never suspend.  This patch wakes the sleeping
threads back up.
