Subject: [PATCH 1/1] powerpc/rtas: Fix hang in race against concurrent cpu
offline

The commit
(“powerpc/rtas: Fix a potential race between CPU-Offline & Migration)
attempted to fix a hang in Live Partition Mobility(LPM) by abandoning
the LPM attempt if a race between LPM and concurrent CPU offline was
detected.
However, that fix failed to notify Hypervisor that the LPM attempted
had been abandoned which results in a system hang.
Fix this by sending a signal PHYP to cancel the migration, so that PHYP
can stop waiting, and clean up the migration.
