The protocol for suspending or migrating an LPAR requires all present processor threads to enter H_JOIN. So if we have threads offline, we have to temporarily bring them up. This can race with administrator actions such as SMT state changes. As ofdfd718a2ed("powerpc/rtas: Fix a potential race between CPU-Offline & Migration"), rtas_ibm_suspend_me() accounts for this, but errors out with -EBUSY for what almost certainly is a transient condition in any reasonable scenario. Callers of rtas_ibm_suspend_me() already retry when -EAGAIN is returned, and it is typical during a migration for that to happen repeatedly for several minutes polling the H_VASI_STATE hcall result before proceeding to the next stage. So return -EAGAIN instead of -EBUSY when this race is encountered. Additionally: logging this event is still appropriate but use pr_info instead of pr_err; and remove use of unlikely() while here as this is not a hot path at all.

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.
