[ Upstream commit 5d08633e5f6564b60f1cbe09af3af40a74d66431 ]
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.

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.
