[PATCH] ppc64: Remove lpqueue pointer from the paca on iSeries
The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue. So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue directly where needed. The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the processor id to get the same behaviour.
