We call idle_kvm_start_guest() from power7_offline() if the thread has
been requested to enter KVM. We pass it the SRR1 value that was returned
from power7_idle_insn() which tells us what sort of wakeup we're
processing.

Depending on the SRR1 value we pass in, the KVM code might enter the
guest, or it might return to us to do some host action if the wakeup
requires it.

If idle_kvm_start_guest() is able to handle the wakeup, and enter the
guest it is supposed to indicate that by returning a zero SRR1 value to
us.

That was the behaviour prior to commit 10d91611f426 ("powerpc/64s:
Reimplement book3s idle code in C"), however in that commit the
handling of SRR1 was reworked, and the zeroing behaviour was lost.

Returning from idle_kvm_start_guest() without zeroing the SRR1 value can
confuse the host offline code, causing the guest to crash and other
weirdness.
