Subject: [PATCH 4.2 087/258] lib/iommu-common.c: do not try to deref a null iommu->lazy_flush() pointer when n < pool->hint

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@...cle.com>

commit d046b770c9fc36ccb19c27afdb8322220108cbc7 upstream.

The check for invoking iommu->lazy_flush() from iommu_tbl_range_alloc()
has to be refactored so that we only call ->lazy_flush() if it is
non-null.

I had a sparc kernel that was crashing when I was trying to process some
very large perf.data files- the crash happens when the scsi driver calls
into dma_4v_map_sg and thus the iommu_tbl_range_alloc().
