powerpc/pmac/smp: Properly NAP offlined CPU on G5
The current code soft-disables, and then goes to NAP mode which turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want, as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec). Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts enabled. We can also get rid of the special case in asm for power4_cpu_offline_powersave() and just use power4_idle(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
