[PATCH v3 04/20] powerpc/pseries/lparcfg: add missing RTAS retry status handling

[Nathan Lynch via B4 Submission Endpoint]

From: Nathan Lynch <nath...@linux.ibm.com>

The ibm,get-system-parameter RTAS function may return -2 or 990x,
which indicate that the caller should try again.

lparcfg's parse_system_parameter_string() ignores this, making it
possible to intermittently report incorrect SPLPAR characteristics.

Move the RTAS call into a coventional rtas_busy_delay()-based loop.

Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch <nath...@linux.ibm.com>
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
