H A Dspapr.c454b580a Tue Jun 06 02:01:21 CDT 2017 David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> spapr: Don't misuse DR-indicator in spapr_recover_pending_dimm_state()

With some combinations of migration and hotplug we can lost temporary state
indicating how many DRCs (guest side hotplug handles) are still connected
to a DIMM object in the process of removal. When we hit that situation
spapr_recover_pending_dimm_state() is used to scan more extensively and
work out the right number.

It does this using drc->indicator state to determine what state of
disconnection the DRC is in. However, this is not safe, because the
indicator state is guest settable - in fact it's more-or-less a purely
guest->host notification mechanism which should have no bearing on the
internals of hotplug state management.

So, replace the test for this with a test on drc->dev, which is a purely
qemu side managed variable, and updated the same BQL critical section as
the indicator state.

This does introduce an off-by-one change, because the indicator state was
updated before the call to spapr_lmb_release() on the current DRC, whereas
drc->dev is updated afterwards. That's corrected by always decrementing
the nr_lmbs value instead of only doing so in the case where we didn't
have to recover information.
