[PATCH v3 2/5] powerpc/rtas: Allocate ibm,errinjct buffer below RTAS limit

[Narayana Murty N]

ibm,errinjct requires a caller-provided work buffer whose physical
address is passed to RTAS firmware.

A static C array such as:

  char rtas_errinjct_buf[1024] __aligned(SZ_1K);

only guarantees alignment, not physical placement.  If the array lands
above the RTAS-safe range (RTAS_INSTANTIATE_MAX, 1 GB) or above 4 GB,
RTAS receives a truncated or invalid address and the injection call
will fail silently or corrupt memory.

Instead, introduce rtas_errinjct_buf as a global unsigned long storing
the physical address allocated during rtas_initialize() using
memblock_phys_alloc_range() with the same rtas_region upper bound used
for rtas_rmo_buf.  This matches the existing placement model for
RTAS-accessible buffers and guarantees the physical address fits in 32
bits.

  Usage:
    void *buf    = __va(rtas_errinjct_buf);       /* kernel VA to fill */
    u32  buf_phys = lower_32_bits(rtas_errinjct_buf); /* PA for RTAS */

Always check upper_32_bits(rtas_errinjct_buf) == 0 before passing the
lower 32 bits to RTAS.

Add rtas_errinjct_mutex to serialise the complete open-session /
inject / close-session firmware call sequence.  A mutex is required
because the sequence involves multiple rtas_call() invocations with
possible busy/extended-delay retries that may sleep.
