It's not done anything for a long time. Save the percpu variable, and
emit a warning to remind users to not expect it to do anything.

Fixes: 3fa8cad82b94 ("powerpc/pseries/cpuidle: smt-snooze-delay cleanup.")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.14

v2:
 Use pr_warn instead of WARN
 Reword and print proccess name with pid in message
 Leave CPU_FTR_SMT test in
 Add Fixes line

mpe, if you don't agree then feel free to drop the cc stable.

Testing 'ppc64_cpu --smt=off' on a 24 core / 4 SMT system it's quite noisy
as the online/offline loop that ppc64_cpu runs is slow.

This could be fixed by open coding pr_warn_ratelimit with the ratelimit
parameters tweaked if someone was concerned. I'll leave that to someone
else as a future enhancement.

Sorry I missed this v2.

The patch looks good to me.

Hmm, that is pretty spammy.

I know I suggested the ratelimit, but I was thinking it would print once
for each ppc64_cpu invocation, not ~30 times.

How about pr_warn_once(), that should still be sufficient for people to
notice if they're looking for it.

Can we make this:

	"%s (%d) stored to unsupported smt_snooze_delay, which has no effect.\n",

It has as much effect as it ever did :)

So maybe:

	"%s (%d) read from unsupported smt_snooze_delay.\n",


I can do those changes when applying if you like rather than making you
do a v3.

I think that's a reasonable suggestion.

Applied to powerpc/next.
