While going over papr-hvpipe code, there were a few races & a possible
recursive deadlock identified. This patch series is an attempt to fix those
along with some misc cleanups.  The changes are looking sane to me in v2, so I
would appreciate any reviews, however it still hasn't been tested on the real
HW, which I will test and update.

v1->v2:
========
1. Fix a possible deadlock due to use of spin_lock instead of spin_lock_irqsave.
2. Prevent kernel stack uninit memory leak to userspace
3. Fix the race condition in null-ptr-deref case where there may be an
   msg pending to be consumed from the hvpipe.
4. Fixed error handling in init routine in patch-10
