[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/mm/memtrace: Let the arch hotunplug code flush cache

From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com>
Date: 2018-04-06 05:24:38
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

Don't do this via custom code, instead now that we have support
in the arch hotplug/hotunplug code, rely on those routines
to do the right thing.

Fixes: 9d5171a8f248 ("powerpc/powernv: Enable removal of memory for in memory tracing")
because the older code uses ppc64_caches.l1d.size instead of
ppc64_caches.l1d.line_size
