Xianglai Li 8ef7f3132e LoongArch: Add cpuhotplug hooks to fix high cpu usage of vCPU threads
When the CPU is offline, the timer of LoongArch is not correctly closed.
This is harmless for real machines, but resulting in an excessively high
cpu usage rate of the offline vCPU thread in the virtual machines.

To correctly close the timer, we have made the following modifications:

Register the cpu hotplug event (CPUHP_AP_LOONGARCH_ARCH_TIMER_STARTING)
for LoongArch. This event's hooks will be called to close the timer when
the CPU is offline.

Clear the timer interrupt when the timer is turned off. Since before the
timer is turned off, there may be a timer interrupt that has already been
in the pending state due to the interruption of the disabled, which also
affects the halt state of the offline vCPU.

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 reStructuredText 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.
