CVE-2022-49440

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/rtas: Keep MSR[RI] set when calling RTAS

RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).

The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.

Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:

  watchdog: CPU 24 Hard LOCKUP
  watchdog: CPU 24 TB:997512652051031, last heartbeat TB:997504470175378 (15980ms ago)

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.

RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":

  R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
  its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
  0 when in the critical regions.

Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real
