powerpc: Fix checkstop in native_hpte_clear() with lockdep
native_hpte_clear() is called in real mode from two places: - Early in boot during htab initialisation if firmware assisted dump is active. - Late in the kexec path. In both contexts there is no need to disable interrupts are they are already disabled. Furthermore, locking around the tlbie() is only required for pre POWER5 hardware. On POWER5 or newer hardware concurrent tlbie()s work as expected and on pre POWER5 hardware concurrent tlbie()s could result in deadlock. This code would only be executed at crashdump time, during which all bets are off, concurrent tlbie()s are unlikely and taking locks is unsafe therefore the best course of action is to simply do nothing. Concurrent tlbie()s are not possible in the first case as secondary CPUs have not come up yet. Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
