H A Dperf_cpum_cf.cdiff 9d48c7afedf91a02d03295837ec76b2fb5e7d3fe Wed Nov 03 07:13:04 CDT 2021 Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> s390/cpumf: cpum_cf PMU displays invalid value after hotplug remove

When a CPU is hotplugged while the perf stat -e cycles command is
running, a wrong (very large) value is displayed immediately after the
CPU removal:

Check the values, shouldn't be too high as in
time counts unit events
1.001101919 29261846 cycles
2.002454499 17523405 cycles
3.003659292 24361161 cycles
4.004816983 18446744073638406144 cycles
5.005671647 <not counted> cycles
...

The CPU hotplug off took place after 3 seconds.
The issue is the read of the event count value after 4 seconds when
the CPU is not available and the read of the counter returns an
error. This is treated as a counter value of zero. This results
in a very large value (0 - previous_value).

Fix this by detecting the hotplugged off CPU and report 0 instead
of a very large number.
