Subject: [PATCH 2/4] powerpc: select ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 20:00:20 +1000

powerpc uses IPIs in some situations to switch a kernel thread away
from a lazy tlb mm, which is subject to the TLB flushing race
described in the changelog introducing ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM.
