Add a special case to block_rtas_call() to allow the ibm,platform-dump RTAS call through the RTAS filter if the buffer address is 0.
According to PAPR, ibm,platform-dump is called with a null buffer address to notify the platform firmware that processing of a particular dump is finished.
Without this, on a pseries machine with CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER enabled, an application such as rtas_errd that is attempting to retrieve a dump will encounter an error at the end of the retrieval process.

I agree this allows ibm,platform-dump to work without weakening the filter for other calls. Thanks.

Similar to what is done for ibm,configure-connector with idx_buf2 and a NULL address.

Applied to powerpc/fixes.
