Subjectppc64le: `NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #20!!!` when turning off SMT
Dear Linux folks,


On the POWER8 server IBM S822LC running Ubuntu 21.10, Linux 5.17-rc1+
built with

$ grep HZ /boot/config-5.17.0-rc1+
CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_250=y
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
CONFIG_HZ=250

once warned about a NOHZ tick-stop error, when I executed `sudo
/usr/sbin/ppc64_cpu --smt=off` (so that KVM would work).

```
$ dmesg
