powerpc: select ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM
[ Upstream commit 66acd46080bd9e5ad2be4b0eb1d498d5145d058e ]
powerpc uses IPIs in some situations to switch a kernel thread away
from a lazy tlb mm, which is subject to the TLB flushing race
described in the changelog introducing ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM.
