powerpc/rtas: Allow ibm,platform-dump RTAS call with null buffer address
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.
