Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 195/293] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix off-by-one
 error in request_buffer check

From: Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauerman@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 36c8fb2c616d9373758b155d9723774353067a87 ]

request_buffer can hold 254 requests, so if it already has that number of
entries we can't add a new one.

Also, define constant to show where the number comes from.

Fixes: e3ee15dc5d19 ("powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Define add_event_to_24x7_request()")
