de801de139ba2a2f2c74393ea00a321477ecc0dc powerpc/icswx: Fix race condition with IPI setting ACOP
There is a race where a thread causes a coprocessor type to be valid
in its own ACOP _and_ in the current context, but it does not
propagate to the ACOP register of other threads in time for them to
use it. The original code tries to solve this by sending an IPI to
all threads on the system, which is heavy handed, but unfortunately
still provides a window where the icswx is issued by other threads and
the ACOP is not up to date.
This patch detects that the ACOP DSI fault was a "false positive" and
syncs the ACOP and causes the icswx to be replayed.
