Subject: [PATCH linux-next][RFC]powerpc: move pseries interrupt cleanup code to under __cpu_disable

According to
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220914021528.15946-1-zhouzhouyi@gmail.com/T/
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CN6WCMKCWHOG.LT2QV3910UJ2@bobo/

During the cpu offlining, the sub functions of xive_teardown_cpu will
call __lock_acquire when CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y. The latter function will
travel RCU protected list, so "WARNING: suspicious RCU usage" will be
triggered.

According to Documentation/core-api/cpu_hotplug.rst:
__cpu_disable should shut down the interrupt handler.

This patch move pseries interrupt cleanup code to under __cpu_disable.

RCU torture tested in ppc VM of Open Source Lab of Oregon State University,
by comparing the test results, our fix don't introduce new bugs and fixed
previous "WARNING: suspicious RCU usage" bugs.

Dear PPC and RCU developers

I tries do move pseries interrupt cleanup code to under __cpu_disable.
During this process, I learn the XIVE interrupt controller architecture
by debugging the qemu virtual machine, and reading the following documents:
Link: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/specs/ppc-spapr-xive.html
Link: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/specs/ppc-xive.html
It is a fruitful journey, thank you for you guidance ;-)

I also tested the patch in ppc VM of Open Source Lab of Oregon
State University by invoking
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/torture.sh

Thanks again
Zhouyi
