Subject: [PATCH 4.9 21/35] powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails

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

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

From: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@...e.de>

commit 98b8cd7f75643e0a442d7a4c1cef2c9d53b7e92b upstream.

 - log an error message when registration fails and no error code listed
   in the switch is returned
 - translate the hv error code to posix error code and return it from
   fw_register
 - return the posix error code from fw_register to the process writing
   to sysfs
 - return EEXIST on re-registration
 - return success on deregistration when fadump is not registered
 - return ENODEV when no memory is reserved for fadump
