commit 57cdfdf829a850a317425ed93c6a576c9ee6329c upstream.

Spinlocks on shared processor partitions use H_YIELD to notify the
hypervisor we are waiting on another virtual CPU. Unfortunately this means
the hcall tracepoints can recurse.

The patch below adds a percpu depth and checks it on both the entry and
exit hcall tracepoints.
