[RFC v1 0/6] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix and simplify papr-hvpipe

[Ritesh Harjani (IBM)]

Haren reported a UAF / null ptr deref issue here [1]. While reviewing that and
going over papr-hvpipe code, I found couple of more issues around the usage of
copy_to_user() and few refactoring which simplifies the code.

This patch series is an attempt to that. Note that this is only compile tested
on pseries for now.

Haren, I will kindly need your help in verifying this please. Let me know if we
have a selftests or any other test framework for this, which I can utilize too.
