Jiri Slaby ea0cca61d6 iwlwifi: fix crash in iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger
The tlv passed to iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger comes from a loaded firmware
file. The memory can be marked as read-only as firmware could be
shared. In anyway, writing to this memory is not expected. So,
iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger can crash now:

As can be seen, write bit is not set in the PTE. Read of
trig->occurrences succeeds in iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger, but
trig->occurrences = cpu_to_le32(-1); fails there, obviously.

This is likely because we (at SUSE) use compressed firmware and that is
marked as RO after decompression (see fw_map_paged_buf).

Fix it by creating a temporary buffer in case we need to change the
memory.

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.
