Subject: Revert "mark pstore-blk as broken"
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d1faacbf67b1944f0e0c618dc581d929263f6fe9 upstream.
This reverts commit d07f3b081ee632268786601f55e1334d1f68b997.
pstore-blk was fixed to avoid the unwanted APIs in commit 7bb9557b48fc
("pstore/blk: Use the normal block device I/O path"), which landed in
the same release as the commit adding BROKEN.
