Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 203/305] powercap / RAPL: fix BIOS lock check

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@...hat.com>

commit 79a21dbfae3cd40d5a801778071a9967b79c2c20 upstream.

Intel RAPL initialized on several systems where the BIOS lock bit (msr
0x610, bit 63) was set.  This occured because the return value of
rapl_read_data_raw() was being checked, rather than the value of the variable
passed in, locked.

This patch properly implments the rapl_read_data_raw() call to check the
variable locked, and now the Intel RAPL driver outputs the warning:

	intel_rapl: RAPL package 0 domain package locked by BIOS

and does not initialize for the package.
