From: Michael Ellerman <mpe at ellerman.id.au>

commit 37c0bdd00d3ae83369ab60a6712c28e11e6458d5 upstream.

Now that we have the security flags we can significantly simplify the
code in pnv_setup_rfi_flush(), because we can use the flags instead of
checking device tree properties and because the security flags have
pessimistic defaults.
