Christopher M. Riedl 405efc5980 powerpc/spinlocks: Fix oops in __spin_yield() on bare metal 
Booting w/ppc64le_defconfig + CONFIG_PREEMPT on bare metal results in
the oops below due to calling into __spin_yield() when not running in
an SPLPAR, which means lppaca pointers are NULL.

We fixed a similar case previously in commit a6201da34f ("powerpc:
Fix oops due to bad access of lppaca on bare metal"), by adding SPLPAR
checks in lppaca_shared_proc(). However when PREEMPT is enabled we can
call __spin_yield() directly from arch_spin_yield().

To fix it add spin_yield() and rw_yield() which check that
shared-processor LPAR is enabled before calling the SPLPAR-only
implementation of each.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
