4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>
commit 476e75a44b56038bee9207242d4bc718f6b4de06 upstream.
Commit 73580dac7618 ("parisc: Fix system shutdown halt") introduced an endless
loop for systems which don't provide a software power off function. But the
soft lockup detector will detect this and report stalled CPUs after some time.
Avoid those unwanted warnings by disabling the soft lockup detector.
