Subject: [PATCH 5.4 138/191] powerpc: Chunk calls to flush_dcache_range in arch_*_memory

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@...ilva.org>

commit 076265907cf9633bbef861c7c2a1c26a8209f283 upstream.

When presented with large amounts of memory being hotplugged
(in my test case, ~890GB), the call to flush_dcache_range takes
a while (~50 seconds), triggering RCU stalls.

This patch breaks up the call into 1GB chunks, calling
cond_resched() inbetween to allow the scheduler to run.

Fixes: fb5924fddf9e ("powerpc/mm: Flush cache on memory hot(un)plug")
