Subject: [PATCH 4.9 49/65] s390/qeth: fix underestimated count of buffer elements

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

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

From: Ursula Braun <ubraun@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 89271c65edd599207dd982007900506283c90ae3 ]

For a memory range/skb where the last byte falls onto a page boundary
(ie. 'end' is of the form xxx...xxx001), the PFN_UP() part of the
calculation currently doesn't round up to the next PFN due to an
off-by-one error.
Thus qeth believes that the skb occupies one page less than it
actually does, and may select a IO buffer that doesn't have enough spare
buffer elements to fit all of the skb's data.
HW detects this as a malformed buffer descriptor, and raises an
exception which then triggers device recovery.

Fixes: 2863c61334aa ("qeth: refactor calculation of SBALE count")
