KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't dynamically split core when already split
In static micro-threading modes, the dynamic micro-threading code
is supposed to be disabled, because subcores can't make independent
decisions about what micro-threading mode to put the core in - there is
only one micro-threading mode for the whole core. The code that
implements dynamic micro-threading checks for this, except that the
check was missed in one case. This means that it is possible for a
subcore in static 2-way micro-threading mode to try to put the core
into 4-way micro-threading mode, which usually leads to stuck CPUs,
spinlock lockups, and other stalls in the host.
The problem was in the can_split_piggybacked_subcores() function, which
should always return false if the system is in a static micro-threading
mode. This fixes the problem by making can_split_piggybacked_subcores()
use subcore_config_ok() for its checks, as subcore_config_ok() includes
the necessary check for the static micro-threading modes.
Credit to Gautham Shenoy for working out that the reason for the hangs
and stalls we were seeing was that we were trying to do dynamic 4-way
micro-threading while we were in static 2-way mode.
