New NVLINK2 patches

Dear Canonical,

These are some important patches we need into 16.04.3. Without these patches, NVLINK and ATS are broken:

NPU2 requires an extra explicit flush to an active GPU PID when sending
address translation shoot downs (ATSDs) to reliably flush the GPU TLB. This
patch adds just such a flush at the end of each sequence of ATSDs.

We can safely use PID 0 which is always reserved and active on the GPU. PID
0 is only used for init_mm which will never be a user mm on the GPU. To
enforce this we add a check in pnv_npu2_init_context() just in case someone
tries to use PID 0 on the GPU.

"4c3b89e powerpc/powernv: Add sanity checks to pnv_pci_get_{gpu|npu}_dev"
introduced explicit warnings in pnv_pci_get_npu_dev() when a PCIe device
has no associated device-tree node. However not all PCIe devices have an
of_node and pnv_pci_get_npu_dev() gets indirectly called at least once for
every PCIe device in the system. This results in spurious WARN_ON()'s so
remove it.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-done-zesty'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-failed-zesty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
