Hi Linus,

Please pull some more powerpc fixes for 4.13:

The following changes since commit 029d9252b116fa52a95150819e62af1f6e420fe5:

  powerpc/mm/hash: Free the subpage_prot_table correctly (2017-07-27 13:05:50 +1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc fixes for 4.13 #4

The highlight is Ben's patch to work around a host killing bug when running KVM
guests with the Radix MMU on Power9. See the long change log of that commit for
more detail.

And then three fairly minor fixes:
 - Fix of_node_put() underflow during reconfig remove, using old DLPAR tools.
 - Fix recently introduced ld version check with 64-bit LE-only toolchain.
 - Free the subpage_prot_table correctly, avoiding a memory leak.

Thanks to:
  Aneesh Kumar K.V, Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Laurent Vivier.
