powerpc: Fix unpaired __trace_hcall_entry and __trace_hcall_exit
Unpaired calling of __trace_hcall_entry and __trace_hcall_exit could cause incorrect preempt count. And it might happen as the global variable hcall_tracepoint_refcount is checked separately before calling them. Instead, store the value that was used on entry in the stack frame and retreive it from there after the call Reported-by: Paul E.
