Gustavo A. R. Silva e25df7812c misc: ibmvsm: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case kzalloc()
fails and returns NULL.

Fix this by adding a NULL check on *session*

Also, update the function header with information about the
expected return on failure and remove unnecessary variable rc.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Wei Yongjun 97b715b62e misc: ibmvmc: Use GFP_ATOMIC under spin lock
The function alloc_dma_buffer() is called from ibmvmc_add_buffer(),
in which a spin lock be held here, so we should use GFP_ATOMIC when
a lock is held.

Bryant G. Ly 0eca353e7a misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver (VMC)
This driver is a logical device which provides an
interface between the hypervisor and a management
partition. This interface is like a message
passing interface. This management partition
is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based
system management.

VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic
logical partition functions:
- Logical Partition Configuration
- Boot, start, and stop actions for individual
  partitions
- Display of partition status
- Management of virtual Ethernet
- Management of virtual Storage
- Basic system management

This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual
Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC
platform. It provides a character device which
allows for both request/response and async message
support through the /dev/ibmvmc node.
