Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 062/129] arm/arm64: KVM: Don't clear the VCPU_POWER_OFF flag

3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@...aro.org>

commit 03f1d4c17edb31b41b14ca3a749ae38d2dd6639d upstream.

If a VCPU was originally started with power off (typically to be brought
up by PSCI in SMP configurations), there is no need to clear the
POWER_OFF flag in the kernel, as this flag is only tested during the
init ioctl itself.
