Add a special case to block_rtas_call() to allow the ibm,platform-dump RTAS
call through the RTAS filter if the buffer address is 0.
According to PAPR, ibm,platform-dump is called with a null buffer address
to notify the platform firmware that processing of a particular dump is
finished.
Without this, on a pseries machine with CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER enabled, an
application such as rtas_errd that is attempting to retrieve a dump will
encounter an error at the end of the retrieval process.

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.
