Subject[PATCH] powerpc: preempt: Don't touch the idle task's preempt_count during hotplug
Date
Powerpc currently resets a CPU's idle task preempt_count to 0 before said
task starts executing the secondary startup routine (and becomes an idle
task proper).

This conflicts with commit

f1a0a376ca0c ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled")

which initializes all of the idle tasks' preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED
during smp_init(). Note that this was superfluous before said commit, as
back then the hotplug machinery would invoke init_idle() via
idle_thread_get(), which would have already reset the CPU's idle task's
preempt_count to PREEMPT_ENABLED.

Get rid of this preempt_count write.
