Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix incorrect comparison in memord
References: bsc#1065729
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 05c14c03138532a3cb2aa29c2960445c8753343b
In the hv-24x7 code there is a function memord() which tries to
implement a sort function return -1, 0, 1. However one of the
conditions is incorrect, such that it can never be true, because we
will have already returned.
I don't believe there is a bug in practice though, because the
comparisons are an optimisation prior to calling memcmp().
Fix it by swapping the second comparision, so it can be true.
