s390: improve wait logic of stop_machine
The stop_machine loop to advance the state machine and to wait for all affected CPUs to check-in calls cpu_relax_yield in a tight loop until the last missing CPUs acknowledged the state transition. On a virtual system where not all logical CPUs are backed by real CPUs all the time it can take a while for all CPUs to check-in. With the current definition of cpu_relax_yield a diagnose 0x44 is done which tells the hypervisor to schedule *some* other CPU. That can be any CPU and not necessarily one of the CPUs that need to run in order to advance the state machine. This can lead to a pretty bad diagnose 0x44 storm until the last missing CPU finally checked-in. Replace the undirected cpu_relax_yield based on diagnose 0x44 with a directed yield. Each CPU in the wait loop will pick up the next CPU in the cpumask of stop_machine. The diagnose 0x9c is used to tell the hypervisor to run this next CPU instead of the current one. If there is only a limited number of real CPUs backing the virtual CPUs we end up with the real CPUs passed around in a round-robin fashion. [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com]: Use cpumask_next_wrap as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
