On 64-bit servers, SPRN_SPRG3 and its userspace read-only mirror SPRN_USPRG3 are used as userspace VDSO write and read registers respectively.
SPRN_SPRG3 is lost when we enter stop4 and above, and is currently not restored. As a result, any read from SPRN_USPRG3 returns zero on an exit from stop4 and above.
Thus in this situation, on POWER9, any call from sched_getcpu() always returns zero, as on powerpc, we call __kernel_getcpu() which relies upon SPRN_USPRG3 to report the CPU and NUMA node information.
Fix this by restoring SPRN_SPRG3 on wake up from a deep stop state with the sprg_vdso value that is cached in PACA.
Fixes: e1c1cfed5432 ("powerpc/powernv: Save/Restore additional SPRs for stop4 cpuidle")

Shenoy ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com --- Change from v1: Restoring the SPRG3 from paca->sprg_vdso instead of saving it separately during stop-entry, as suggested by Mikey.
