Subject: [PATCH 4.13 042/109] powerpc/pseries: Dont attempt to acquire drc during memory hot add for assigned lmbs

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

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

From: John Allen <jallen@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit afb5519fdb346201728040cab4e08ce53e7ff4fd upstream.

Check if an LMB is assigned before attempting to call dlpar_acquire_drc
in order to avoid any unnecessary rtas calls. This substantially
reduces the running time of memory hot add on lpars with large amounts
of memory.

[mpe: We need to explicitly set rc to 0 in the success case, otherwise
 the compiler might think we use rc without initialising it.]

Fixes: c21f515c7436 ("powerpc/pseries: Make the acquire/release of the drc for memory a seperate step")
