[PATCH 4.14 204/237] powerpc/tm: P9 disable transactionally suspended sigcontexts

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>

[ Upstream commit 92fb8690bd04cb421d987d246deac60eef85d272 ]

Unfortunately userspace can construct a sigcontext which enables
suspend. Thus userspace can force Linux into a path where trechkpt is
executed.

This patch blocks this from happening on POWER9 by sanity checking
sigcontexts passed in.

ptrace doesn't have this problem as only MSR SE and BE can be changed
via ptrace.

This patch also adds a number of WARN_ON()s in case we ever enter
suspend when we shouldn't. This should not happen, but if it does the
symptoms are soft lockup warnings which are not obviously TM related,
so the WARN_ON()s should make it obvious what's happening.
