powerpc/idle: Don't corrupt back chain when going idle
In isa206_idle_insn_mayloss() we store various registers into the stack red zone, which is allowed. However inside the IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ_NORET macro we save r2 again, to 0(r1), which corrupts the stack back chain. We used to do the same in isa206_idle_insn_mayloss() itself, but we fixed that in 73287caa ("powerpc64/idle: Fix SP offsets when saving GPRs"), however we missed that the macro also corrupts the back chain. Corrupting the back chain is bad for debuggability but doesn't necessarily cause a bug. However we recently changed the stack handling in some KVM code, and it now relies on the stack back chain being valid when it returns. The corruption causes that code to return with r1 pointing somewhere in kernel data, at some point LR is restored from the stack and we branch to NULL or somewhere else invalid. Only affects Power8 hosts running KVM guests, with dynamic_mt_modes enabled (which it is by default). The fixes tag below points to the commit that changed the KVM stack handling, exposing this bug. The actual corruption of the back chain has always existed since 948cf67c ("powerpc: Add NAP mode support on Power7 in HV mode").
