powerpc/next

Allocating a temporary mask while performing a CPU Hotplug operation
with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK enabled, leads to calling a sleepable
function from a atomic context. Fix this by allocating the temporary
mask with GFP_ATOMIC flag. Also instead of having to allocate twice,
allocate the mask in the caller so that we only have to allocate once.
If the allocation fails, assume the mask to be same as sibling mask, which
will make the scheduler to drop this domain for this CPU.

Fixes: 3ab33d6dc3e9 ("powerpc/smp: Optimize update_mask_by_l2")

Changelog v1->v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20201008034240.34059-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u
Updated 2nd patch based on comments from Michael Ellerman
- Remove the WARN_ON.
- Handle allocation failures in a more subtle fashion
- Allocate in the caller so that we allocate once.
