Subject: [PATCH 4.16 038/161] powerpc/pseries: Set or clear security feature flags

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

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

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

commit f636c14790ead6cc22cf62279b1f8d7e11a67116 upstream.

Now that we have feature flags for security related things, set or
clear them based on what we receive from the hypercall.
