Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.19 08/10] powerpc/rtas: block error injection when locked down

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit b8f3e48834fe8c86b4f21739c6effd160e2c2c19 ]

The error injection facility on pseries VMs allows corruption of
arbitrary guest memory, potentially enabling a sufficiently privileged
user to disable lockdown or perform other modifications of the running
kernel via the rtas syscall.

Block the PAPR error injection facility from being opened or called
when locked down.
