Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm/radix: Properly clear process table entry
References: bnc#1060662
Patch-mainline: v4.12.4
Git-commit: c6bb0b8d426a8cf865ca9c8a532cc3a2927cfceb

commit c6bb0b8d426a8cf865ca9c8a532cc3a2927cfceb upstream.

On radix, the process table entry we want to clear when destroying a
context is entry 0, not entry 1. This has no *immediate* consequence
on Power9, but it can cause other bugs to become worse.

Fixes: 7e381c0ff618 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Add mmu context handling callback for radix")
