4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 7fd6641de28fe9b5bce0c38d2adee0a72a72619e ]
Don't do this via custom code, instead now that we have support in the
arch hotplug/hotunplug code, rely on those routines to do the right
thing.
The existing flush doesn't work because it uses ppc64_caches.l1d.size
instead of ppc64_caches.l1d.line_size.
Fixes: 9d5171a8f248 ("powerpc/powernv: Enable removal of memory for in memory tracing")
