Subject: [PATCH 3/9] powerpc/pkeys: key allocation/deallocation must not
 change pkey registers

References: bsc#1097577
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
Git-commit: 4a4a5e5d2aadc793be95024f454cf511d115b62d

Key allocation and deallocation has the side effect of programming the
UAMOR/AMR/IAMR registers. This is wrong, since its the responsibility of
the application and not that of the kernel, to modify the permission on
the key.

Do not modify the pkey registers at key allocation/deallocation.

This patch also fixes a bug where a sys_pkey_free() resets the UAMOR
bits of the key, thus making its permissions unmodifiable from user
space. Later if the same key gets reallocated from a different thread
this thread will no longer be able to change the permissions on the key.

Fixes: cf43d3b26452 ("powerpc: Enable pkey subsystem")
