Subject: [PATCH 5.6 210/254] powerpc/pseries: Avoid NULL pointer dereference when drmem is unavailable

From: Libor Pechacek <lpechacek@...e.cz>

commit a83836dbc53e96f13fec248ecc201d18e1e3111d upstream.

In guests without hotplugagble memory drmem structure is only zero
initialized. Trying to manipulate DLPAR parameters results in a crash.

  $ echo "memory add count 1" > /sys/kernel/dlpar

Taking closer look at the code, I can see that for_each_drmem_lmb is a
macro expanding into `for (lmb = &drmem_info->lmbs[0]; lmb <=
&drmem_info->lmbs[drmem_info->n_lmbs - 1]; lmb++)`. When drmem_info->lmbs
is NULL, the loop would iterate through the whole address range if it
weren't stopped by the NULL pointer dereference on the next line.

This patch aligns for_each_drmem_lmb and for_each_drmem_lmb_in_range
macro behavior with the common C semantics, where the end marker does
not belong to the scanned range, and alters get_lmb_range() semantics.
As a side effect, the wraparound observed in the crash is prevented.
