powerpc/64s: Optimize hypercall/syscall entry

After bc355125 ("powerpc/64: Allow for relocation-on interrupts from
guest to host"), a getppid() system call goes from 307 cycles to 358
cycles (+17%) on POWER8. This is due significantly to the scratch SPR
used by the hypercall check.

It turns out there are a some volatile registers common to both system
call and hypercall (in particular, r12, cr0, ctr), which can be used to
avoid the SPR and some other overheads. This brings getppid to 320 cycles
(+4%).

Testing hcall entry performance by running "sc 1" in guest userspace
before this patch is 854 cycles, afterwards is 826. Also a small win
there.

POWER9 syscall is improved by about the same amount, hcall not tested.

+ *
+ * The hypercall is invoked with "sc 1" and sets HV=1.

+ * Call convention:
+ *
+ * syscall register convention is in Documentation/powerpc/syscall64-abi.txt
+ *
+ * For hypercalls, the register convention is as follows:
+ * r0 volatile
+ * r1-2 nonvolatile
+ * r3 volatile parameter and return value for status
+ * r4-r10 volatile input and output value
+ * r11 volatile hypercall number and output value
+ * r12 volatile
+ * r13-r31 nonvolatile
+ * LR nonvolatile
+ * CTR volatile
+ * XER volatile
+ * CR0-1 CR5-7 volatile
+ * CR2-4 nonvolatile
+ * Other registers nonvolatile
+ *
+ * The intersection of volatile registers that don't contain possible
+ * inputs is: r12, cr0, xer, ctr. We may use these as scratch regs
+ * upon entry without saving.
