Subject: powerpc/power8: Fix secondary CPUs hanging on boot for HV=0
From: Michael Neuling <mikey@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8c2a381734fc9718f127f4aba958e8a7958d4028 upstream.
In __restore_cpu_power8 we determine if we are HV and if not, we return
before setting HV only resources.
Unfortunately we forgot to restore the link register from r11 before
returning.
This will happen on boot and with secondary CPUs not coming online.
This adds the missing link register restore.
