Subject: [PATCH 3.19 120/177] powerpc/cell: Fix crash in iic_setup_cpu() after per_cpu changes

3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

commit b0dd00addc5035f87ec9c5820dacc1ebc7fcb3e6 upstream.

The conversion from __get_cpu_var() to this_cpu_ptr() in iic_setup_cpu()
is wrong. It causes an oops at boot.

We need the per-cpu address of struct cpu_iic, not cpu_iic.regs->prio.

Sparse noticed this, because we pass a non-iomem pointer to out_be64(),
but we obviously don't check the sparse results often enough.

Fixes: 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses")
