s390/cpumf: cpum_cf PMU displays invalid value after hotplug remove
commit 9d48c7af upstream. When a CPU is hotplugged while the perf stat -e cycles command is running, a wrong (very large) value is displayed immediately after the CPU removal: Check the values, shouldn't be too high as in time counts unit events 1.001101919 29261846 cycles 2.002454499 17523405 cycles 3.003659292 24361161 cycles 4.004816983 18446744073638406144 cycles 5.005671647 <not counted> cycles ... The CPU hotplug off took place after 3 seconds. The issue is the read of the event count value after 4 seconds when the CPU is not available and the read of the counter returns an error. This is treated as a counter value of zero. This results in a very large value (0 - previous_value). Fix this by detecting the hotplugged off CPU and report 0 instead of a very large number.
