[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 011/109] powerpc/64s/hash: Fix stab_rr off by one initialization

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-11-10 03:05:45
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 09b4438db13fa83b6219aee5993711a2aa2a0c64 ]

This causes SLB alloation to start 1 beyond the start of the SLB.
There is no real problem because after it wraps it stats behaving
properly, it's just surprisig to see when looking at SLB traces.
