Subject: x86/acpi/boot: Correct acpi_is_processor_usable() check
From: Eric DeVolder <eric.devolder@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fed8d8773b8ea68ad99d9eee8c8343bef9da2c2c upstream.
The logic in acpi_is_processor_usable() requires the online capable
bit be set for hotpluggable CPUs. The online capable bit has been
introduced in ACPI 6.3.
However, for ACPI revisions < 6.3 which do not support that bit, CPUs
should be reported as usable, not the other way around.
Reverse the check.
