[PATCH v6 5/9] powerpc/vas: Map paste address only if window is active

The paste address mapping is done with mmap() after the window is
opened with ioctl. The partition has to close VAS windows in the
hypervisor if it lost credits due to DLPAR core removal. But the
kernel marks these windows inactive until the previously lost
credits are available later. If the window is inactive due to
DLPAR after this mmap(), the paste instruction returns failure
until the the OS reopens this window again.

Before the user space issuing mmap(), there is a possibility of
happening DLPAR core removal event which causes the corresponding
window inactive. So if the window is not active, return mmap()
failure with -EACCES and expects the user space reissue mmap()
when the window is active or open a new window when the credit
is available.
