Subject: [PATCH 31/47] KVM: s390: Fix memslot initialization for userspace_addr != 0

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@...ibm.com>

    KVM: s390: streamline memslot handling

s390 uses the values of the memslot instead of doing everything in the arch
ioctl handler of the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. Unfortunately we missed to
set the userspace_addr of our memslot due to our s390 ifdef in
__kvm_set_memory_region.
Old s390 userspace launchers did not notice, since they started the guest at
userspace address 0.
Because of CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR we now put the guest at 1M userspace,
which does not work. This patch makes sure that new.userspace_addr is set
on s390.
This fix should go in quickly. Nevertheless, looking at the code we should
clean up that ifdef in the long term. Any kernel janitors?
