KVM: PPC: Book3S: Rework TM save/restore code and make it C-callable



This adds a parameter to __kvmppc_save_tm and __kvmppc_restore_tm
which allows the caller to indicate whether it wants the nonvolatile
register state to be preserved across the call, as required by the C
calling conventions.  This parameter being non-zero also causes the
MSR bits that enable TM, FP, VMX and VSX to be preserved.  The
condition register and DSCR are now always preserved.

With this, kvmppc_save_tm_hv and kvmppc_restore_tm_hv can be called
from C code provided the 3rd parameter is non-zero.  So that these
functions can be called from modules, they now include code to set
the TOC pointer (r2) on entry, as they can call other built-in C
functions which will assume the TOC to have been set.

Also, the fake suspend code in kvmppc_save_tm_hv is modified here to
assume that treclaim in fake-suspend state does not modify any registers,
which is the case on POWER9.  This enables the code to be simplified
quite a bit.

_kvmppc_save_tm_pr and _kvmppc_restore_tm_pr become much simpler with
this change, since they now only need to save and restore TAR and pass
1 for the 3rd argument to __kvmppc_{save,restore}_tm.
