Ganesh Goudar 4ff753feab powerpc/pseries: Avoid using addr_to_pfn in real mode
When an UE or memory error exception is encountered the MCE handler
tries to find the pfn using addr_to_pfn() which takes effective
address as an argument, later pfn is used to poison the page where
memory error occurred, recent rework in this area made addr_to_pfn
to run in real mode, which can be fatal as it may try to access
memory outside RMO region.

Have two helper functions to separate things to be done in real mode
and virtual mode without changing any functionality. This also fixes
the following error as the use of addr_to_pfn is now moved to virtual
mode.

Without this change following kernel crash is seen on hitting UE.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
