[PATCH] powerpc/fadump: return error when fadump registration fails

[Michal Suchanek]

 - log an error message when registration fails and no error code listed
 in the switch is returned
 - translate the hv error code to posix error code and return it from
 fw_register
 - return the posix error code from fw_register to the process writing
 to sysfs
 - return EEXIST on re-registration
 - return success on deregistration when fadump is not registered
