Nick Child 0a3b5893c6 ibmvnic: Handle DMA unmapping of login buffs in release functions
commit d78a671eb8996af19d6311ecdee9790d2fa479f0 upstream.

Rather than leaving the DMA unmapping of the login buffers to the
login response handler, move this work into the login release functions.
Previously, these functions were only used for freeing the allocated
buffers. This could lead to issues if there are more than one
outstanding login buffer requests, which is possible if a login request
times out.

If a login request times out, then there is another call to send login.
The send login function makes a call to the login buffer release
function. In the past, this freed the buffers but did not DMA unmap.
Therefore, the VIOS could still write to the old login (now freed)
buffer. It is for this reason that it is a good idea to leave the DMA
unmap call to the login buffers release function.

Since the login buffer release functions now handle DMA unmapping,
remove the duplicate DMA unmapping in handle_login_rsp().

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.
