powerpc/pseries/vas: Close windows with DLPAR core removal
The hypervisor assigns vas credits (windows) for each LPAR based on the number of cores configured in that system. The OS is expected to release credits when cores are removed, and may allocate more when cores are added. So there is a possibility of using excessive credits (windows) in the LPAR and the hypervisor expects the system to close the excessive windows so that NX load can be equally distributed across all LPARs in the system. When the OS closes the excessive windows in the hypervisor, it sets the window status inactive and invalidates window virtual address mapping. The user space receives paste instruction failure if any NX requests are issued on the inactive window. Then the user space can use with the available open windows or retry NX requests until this window active again. This patch also adds the notifier for core removal/add to close windows in the hypervisor if the system lost credits (core removal) and reopen windows in the hypervisor when the previously lost credits are available.
