Hi Linus,

  powerpc/64: Fix HMI exception on LE with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (2017-04-18 20:19:52 +1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc fixes for 4.11 #8

Just two fixes. The first fixes kprobing a stdu, and is marked for stable as
it's been broken for ~ever. In hindsight this could have gone in next.

The other is a fix for a change we merged this cycle, where if we take a certain
exception when the kernel is running relocated (currently only used for kdump),
we checkstop the box.

Thanks to:
  Ravi Bangoria.
