[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 063/129] arm/arm64: KVM: Correct KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT power off option

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3ad8b3de526a76fbe9466b366059e4958957b88f upstream.

The implementation of KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT is currently not doing what
userspace expects, namely making sure that a vcpu which may have been
turned off using PSCI is returned to its initial state, which would be
powered on if userspace does not set the KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF flag.

Implement the expected functionality and clarify the ABI.
