powerpc/smp: do not decrement idle task preempt count in CPU offline
With PREEMPT_COUNT=y, when a CPU is offlined and then onlined again, we
get:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000000
no locks held by swapper/1/0.
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc2+ #100
Call Trace:
dump_stack_lvl+0xac/0x108
__schedule_bug+0xac/0xe0
__schedule+0xcf8/0x10d0
schedule_idle+0x3c/0x70

cpu_startup_entry+0x38/0x40
start_secondary+0x2ec/0x3a0
start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14
This is because powerpc's arch_cpu_idle_dead() decrements the idle task's
preempt count, for reasons explained in commit a7c2bb8 ("powerpc:
Re-enable preemption before cpu_die()"), specifically "start_secondary()
expects a preempt_count() of 0."
However, since commit 2c669ef ("powerpc/preempt: Don't touch the idle
task's preempt_count during hotplug") and commit f1a0a37 ("sched/core:
Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled"), that justification no
longer holds.
The idle task isn't supposed to re-enable preemption, so remove the
vestigial preempt_enable() from the CPU offline path.
Tested with pseries and powernv in qemu, and pseries on PowerVM.
Fixes: 2c669ef ("powerpc/preempt: Don't touch the idle task's preempt_count during hotplug")
