powerpc/papr_scm: Force a scm-unbind if initial scm-bind fails
In some cases initial bind of scm memory for an lpar can fail if previously it wasn't released using a scm-unbind hcall. This situation can arise due to panic of the previous kernel or forced lpar fadump. In such cases the H_SCM_BIND_MEM return a H_OVERLAP error. To mitigate such cases the patch updates papr_scm_probe() to force a call to drc_pmem_unbind() in case the initial bind of scm memory fails with EBUSY error. In case scm-bind operation again fails after the forced scm-unbind then we follow the existing error path. We also update drc_pmem_bind() to handle the H_OVERLAP error returned by phyp and indicate it as a EBUSY error back to the caller.
