3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In 3.2, unlike mainline, efi_pstore_erase() calls efi_pstore_write()
with a size of 0, as the underlying EFI interface treats a size of 0
as meaning deletion.
This was not taken into account in my backport of commit d80a361d779a
'efi_pstore: Check remaining space with QueryVariableInfo() before
writing data'. The size check should be omitted when erasing.
