Nathan Lynch 348ea30f51 powerpc/pseries: avoid blocking in irq when queuing hotplug events
A couple of bugs in queue_hotplug_event():

1. Unchecked kmalloc result which could lead to an oops.
2. Use of GFP_KERNEL allocations in interrupt context (this code's
   only caller is ras_hotplug_interrupt()).

Use kmemdup to avoid open-coding the allocation+copy and check for
failure; use GFP_ATOMIC for both allocations.

Ultimately it probably would be better to avoid or reduce allocations
in this path if possible.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
