REPOST [PATCH v04] powerpc/numa: Perform full re-add of CPU for PRRN/VPHN topology update

On pseries systems, performing changes to a partition's affinity
can result in altering the nodes a CPU is assigned to the
current system.  For example, some systems are subject to resource
balancing operations by the operator or control software.  In such
environments, system CPUs may be in node 1 and 3 at boot, and be
moved to nodes 2, 3, and 5, for better performance.

The current implementation attempts to recognize such changes within
the powerpc-specific version of arch_update_cpu_topology to modify a
range of system data structures directly.  However, some scheduler
data structures may be inaccessible, or the timing of a node change
may still lead to corruption or error in other modules (e.g. user
space) which do not receive notification of these changes.

This patch modifies the PRRN/VPHN topology update worker function to
recognize an affinity change for a CPU, and to perform a full DLPAR
remove and add of the CPU instead of dynamically changing its node
to resolve this issue.

Changes in v04:
  -- Revise tests in topology_timer_fn to check vphn_enabled before prrn_enabled
  -- Remove unnecessary changes to numa_update_cpu_topology
Changes in v03:
  -- Fixed under-scheduling of topo updates.
Changes in v02:
  -- Reuse more of the previous implementation to reduce patch size
  -- Replace former calls to numa_update_cpu_topology(false) by
     topology_schedule_update
  -- Make sure that we report topology changes back through
     arch_update_cpu_topology
  -- Fix problem observed in powerpc next kernel with updating
     cpu_associativity_changes_mask in timer_topology_fn when both
     prrn_enabled and vphn_enabled, and many extra CPUs are possible,
     but not installed.
  -- Fix problem with updating cpu_associativity_changes_mask when
     VPHN associativity information does not arrive until after first
     call to update topology occurs.
