  powerpc/mm: Fix virt_addr_valid() etc. on 64-bit hash (2017-05-19 13:04:35 +1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc fixes for 4.12 #3

The headline is a fix for FP/VMX register corruption when using transactional
memory, and a new selftest to go with it.

Then there's the virt_addr_valid() fix, currently HARDENDED_USERCOPY is tripping
on that causing some machines to crash.

A few other fairly minor fixes for long tail things, and a couple of fixes for
code we just merged.

Thanks to:
  Breno Leitao, Gautham R. Shenoy, Michael Neuling, Naveen N. Rao. Nicholas
  Piggin, Paul Mackerras.
