[PATCH 4.14 139/178] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix incorrect comparison in memord

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 05c14c03138532a3cb2aa29c2960445c8753343b ]

In the hv-24x7 code there is a function memord() which tries to
implement a sort function return -1, 0, 1. However one of the
conditions is incorrect, such that it can never be true, because we
will have already returned.

I don't believe there is a bug in practice though, because the
comparisons are an optimisation prior to calling memcmp().

Fix it by swapping the second comparision, so it can be true.
