[PATCH] [A|B/master][SRU] Fix soft lockup on thunderx_zip driver

[Paolo Pisati]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755073

Enabling virtual mapped kernel stacks breaks the thunderx_zip driver. On
compression or decompression the executing CPU hangs in an endless loop. The
reason for this is the usage of __pa() by the driver that does not work for an
address that is not part of the 1:1 mapping.

== Fix ==

The attached patch fixes the driver - it's not an upstream patch (hence i marked
it as SAUCE) and it came from Cavim itself.

To reproduce the bug (and test the fixed kernel):

# modprobe zram
# echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
# echo deflate > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
# echo 128M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
# mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/zram0

if the above sequence completes, your kernel is good.

== Regression Potential ==

The patch affects only the thunderx_zip driver (that is already in a completely
broken state), so the regression potential is low.

Tested on a thunderx board, proposing for artful/master and bionic/master.
