4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Haren Myneni <ha...@us.ibm.com>
commit 75743649064ec0cf5ddd69f240ef23af66dde16e upstream.
NX can set the 3rd bit in CR register for XER[SO] (Summary overflow)
which is not related to paste request. The current paste function
returns failure for a successful request when this bit is set. So mask
this bit and check the proper return status.
