Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Some more powerpc fixes for 4.14.

  This is bigger than I like to send at rc7, but that's at least partly
  because I didn't send any fixes last week. If it wasn't for the IMC
  driver, which is new and getting heavy testing, the diffstat would
  look a bit better. I've also added ftrace on big endian to my test
  suite, so we shouldn't break that again in future.

   - A fix to the handling of misaligned paste instructions (P9 only),
     where a change to a #define has caused the check for the
     instruction to always fail.

   - The preempt handling was unbalanced in the radix THP flush (P9
     only). Though we don't generally use preempt we want to keep it
     working as much as possible.

   - Two fixes for IMC (P9 only), one when booting with restricted
     number of CPUs and one in the error handling when initialisation
     fails due to firmware etc.

   - A revert to fix function_graph on big endian machines, and then a
     rework of the reverted patch to fix kprobes blacklist handling on
     big endian machines.

  Thanks to: Anju T Sudhakar, Guilherme G. Piccoli, Madhavan Srinivasan,
  Naveen N. Rao, Nicholas Piggin, Paul Mackerras"
