Anju T Sudhakar ad2b6e0102 powerpc/perf/imc: Fix nest-imc cpuhotplug callback failure
Oops is observed during boot:

  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000248340
  cpu 0x0: Vector: 380 (Data Access Out of Range) at [c000000ff66fb850]
      pc: c000000000248340: event_function_call+0x50/0x1f0

      sp: c000000ff66fbad0
     msr: 9000000000009033
     dar: 7d20e2a6f92d03c0
    pid = 14, comm = cpuhp/0

While registering the cpuhotplug callbacks for nest-imc, if we fail in
the cpuhotplug online path for any random node in a multi node
system (because the opal call to stop nest-imc counters fails for that
node), ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline() will get invoked for other nodes who
successfully returned from cpuhotplug online path.

This call trace is generated since in the ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline()
path we are trying to migrate the event context, when nest-imc
counters are not even initialized.

Patch to add a check to ensure that nest-imc is registered before
migrating the event context.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
