Currently we do not validate rtas entry before calling enter_rtas(). This
is resulting in a kernel oops (see below) when user space calls rtas system
call on PowerNV platform. We hit below oops when we ran trinity (system call
fuzzer) on PowerNV. This patch adds code to validate rtas entry before making
enter_rtas() call.
dmesg:
