This is a reroll of the series posted here:

Originally this work was prompted by failures on radix MMU PowerVM
guests when passing buffers to RTAS that lay outside of its idea of
the RMA. In v1 I approached this as a problem to be solved in Linux,
but RTAS development has since decided to change their code so that
the RMA restriction does not apply with radix.
So in v2 I retain the cleanups and discard the more significant change
which accommodated the misbehaving RTAS versions.
Changes since v1:
- Correct missing conversion of RTAS_RMOBUF_MAX ->
RTAS_USER_REGION_SIZE in in_rmo_buf().
- Remove unnecessary braces in rtas_syscall_filter_init().
- Leave expression of RTAS_WORK_AREA_SIZE as-is instead of changing
the factors in a confusing way, per discussion with Alexey.
- Drop "powerpc/rtas: constrain user region allocation to RMA"
