powerpc: Fix page fault with lockdep regression
commit a546498f introduced a regression on 32-bit when irq tracing is enabled by exposing an old bug in our irq tracing code for exception entry. The code would save and restore some GPRs around the calls to the C lockdep code, however, it tries to be too smart for its own good and restores some of the GPRs from the exception frame (as saved there on exception entry). However, for page faults, we do replace those GPRs with arguments to do_page_fault before we call transfer_to_handler and so restoring from the exception frame is plain wrong in this case. This was fine as long as we didn't touch the interrupt state when taking page fault, but when I started doing it, it would trigger the lockdep calls and the bug. This fixes it by cleaning up that code a bit. It did create a small stack frame for the sake of backtraces, so let's make it a bit bigger and use it to save and restore the stuff we care about.
