[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts
On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor
which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have
been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset).
The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where
the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives.
In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault
completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst
case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to
wait again.
