Michael Ellerman 5b48ba2fbd powerpc/64s: Fix stf mitigation patching w/strict RWX & hash
The stf entry barrier fallback is unsafe to execute in a semi-patched
state, which can happen when enabling/disabling the mitigation with
strict kernel RWX enabled and using the hash MMU.

See the previous commit for more details.

Fix it by changing the order in which we patch the instructions.

Note the stf barrier fallback is only used on Power6 or earlier.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
