The paste address mapping is done with mmap() after the window is
opened with ioctl. The partition has to close VAS windows in the
hypervisor if it lost credits due to DLPAR core removal. But the
kernel marks these windows inactive until the previously lost
credits are available later. If the window is inactive due to
DLPAR after this mmap(), the paste instruction returns failure
until the the OS reopens this window again.
Before the user space issuing mmap(), there is a possibility of
happening DLPAR core removal event which causes the corresponding
window inactive. So if the window is not active, return mmap()
failure with -EACCES and expects the user space reissue mmap()
when the window is active or open a new window when the credit
is available.

The VAS window may not be active if the system looses credits and
the NX generates page fault when it receives request on unmap
paste address.
The kernel handles the fault by remap new paste address if the
window is active again, Otherwise return the paste instruction
failure if the executed instruction that caused the fault was
a paste.

The user space opens VAS windows and issues NX requests by pasting
CRB on the corresponding paste address mmap. When the system lost
credits due to core removal, the kernel has to close the window in
the hypervisor and make the window inactive by unmapping this paste
address. Also the OS has to handle NX request page faults if the user
space issue NX requests.
This handler maps the new paste address with the same VMA when the
window is active again (due to core add with DLPAR). Otherwise
returns paste failure.

(!ptr && !ptr->foo) strikes again. :)
The expression (!ptr && !ptr->foo) is bogus and in case ptr is NULL,
it leads to a NULL pointer dereference: ptr->foo.
Fix this by converting && to ||
This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
fixed manually.
