[ Upstream commit ed8029d ]

RCU complains about us calling printk() from an offline CPU:

  =============================
  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  5.12.0-rc7-02874-g7cf90e481cb8 #1 Not tainted
  -----------------------------
  kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3568 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
  rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
  no locks held by swapper/0/0.

  stack backtrace:
  CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc7-02874-g7cf90e481cb8 #1

Which happens because by the time we get to rtas_stop_self() we are
already offline. In addition the message can be spammy, and is not that
helpful for users, so remove it.
