[PATCH for-6.0 v2 2/4] spapr: Abort if ppc_set_compat() fails for hot-plugged CPUs

[Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>]

When a CPU is hot-plugged, we set its compat mode to match the boot
CPU, which was either set by machine reset or by CAS. This is currently
handled in the plug handler after the core got realized. Potential errors
of ppc_set_compat() are propagated to the hot-plug logic.

Handling errors this late in the hot-plug sequence is generally frown
upon. Ideally, we should do sanity checks in a pre-plug handler and pass
&error_abort to ppc_set_compat() in the plug handler.

We can filter out some error cases of ppc_set_compat() by calling
ppc_check_compat() at pre-plug. But ppc_set_compat() also sets the
compat register in KVM, and KVM doesn't provide any API that would
allow to check valid compat mode settings beforehand.

However, at this point we know that the compat mode was already
successfully set for the boot CPU. Since this all boils down to
setting a register with the very same value that was valid
for the boot CPU, it should definitely not fail for hot-plugged
CPUS.

Pass &error_abort to ppc_set_compat().
