powerpc/kuap: Avoid unnecessary reads of MD_AP
A disassembly of interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() shows a useless read of MD_AP register. This is shown by r9 being re-used immediately without doing anything with the value read. c000e0e0: 60 00 00 00 nop c000e0e4: ===> 7d 3a c2 a6 mfmd_ap r9 <==== c000e0e8: 7d 20 00 a6 mfmsr r9 c000e0ec: 7c 51 13 a6 mtspr 81,r2 c000e0f0: 81 3f 00 84 lwz r9,132(r31) c000e0f4: 71 29 80 00 andi. r9,r9,32768 kuap_get_and_assert_locked() is paired with kuap_kernel_restore() and are only used in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare(). The value returned by kuap_get_and_assert_locked() is only used by kuap_kernel_restore(). On 8xx, kuap_kernel_restore() doesn't use the value read by kuap_get_and_assert_locked() so modify kuap_get_and_assert_locked() to not perform the read of MD_AP and return 0 instead. The same applies on BOOKE.
