[PATCH v3 0/9] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix deadlock, races and misc cleanups

[Ritesh Harjani (IBM)]

While going over papr-hvpipe code, there were a few fixes which were identified.
This patch series is an attempt to fix those along with some misc cleanups.
Me and Haren are trying to get these patches verified on a real HW. The tests
are not straight forward and we are waiting for the results.
Will update on the test results once we hear back from the internal test team.

v2->v3:
======
1. Rearranged the patches in such a way that it is easier to backport the fixes
   if required.
2. Clubbed patch-8 and patch-10 (of v2) since they both were changing the same function.
3. Handled ret>=0 case in copy_to_user patch, when the user itself may request
   for 0 effective bytes (after the HDR_LEN).

[v2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/cover.1775648406.git.ritesh.list@xxxxxxxxx/

v1->v2:
========
1. Fix a possible deadlock due to use of spin_lock instead of spin_lock_irqsave.
2. Prevent kernel stack uninit memory leak to userspace
3. Fix the race condition in null-ptr-deref case where there may be an
   msg pending to be consumed from the hvpipe.
4. Fixed error handling in init routine in patch-10

[v1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/cover.1775569027.git.ritesh.list@xxxxxxxxx/#t
