powerpc: Fix msr check in compat_sys_swapcontext
The new context may not be 16-byte aligned, so the real address of the mcontext structure should be read from the uc_regs pointer instead of directly using the (unaligned) uc_mcontext field. Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
