Subject: [PATCH 4.9 07/92] powerpc/powernv: Restrict OPAL symbol map to only be readable by root

From: Andrew Donnellan <ajd@...ux.ibm.com>

commit e7de4f7b64c23e503a8c42af98d56f2a7462bd6d upstream.

Currently the OPAL symbol map is globally readable, which seems bad as
it contains physical addresses.

Restrict it to root.

Fixes: c8742f85125d ("powerpc/powernv: Expose OPAL firmware symbol map")
