4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Michael Ellerman mpe@ellerman.id.au
commit 84749a58b6e382f109abf1e734bc4dd43c2c25bb upstream.
This ensures the fallback flush area is always allocated on pseries, so in case a LPAR is migrated from a patched to an unpatched system, it is possible to enable the fallback flush in the target system.
