[GIT PULL] pstore fix for v4.10-rc8

[GIT PULL] pstore fix for v4.10-rc8

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

This pstore regression was just noticed. If I'm too late, this can land
in v4.11 and -stable, but if the fix window is still open for v4.10, I'd
love to see this fix pulled for v4.10.

Thanks!

-Kees

[PATCH] ARM: multi_v7_defconfig: enable pstore configs

[Brian Norris]

It's useful to get testing on these features on various boards (e.g., on
KernelCI), and (when they're working) the ramoops feature is extremely
helpful for debugging live systems.

I expect we aren't getting regular testing coverage (e.g., from
KernelCI, which has a few ARM-based Chromebooks in the lab [1], which
would have trivially caught the bug) because pstore is not enabled on
the multiplatform config that gets used there. Seems like a good idea,
so we can catch regressions like this automatically?
