powerpc: Remove use of a second scratch SPRG in STAB code
The STAB code used on Power3 and RS/64 uses a second scratch SPRG to save a GPR in order to decide whether to go to do_stab_bolted_* or to handle a normal data access exception. This prevents our scheme of freeing SPRG3 which is user visible for user uses since we cannot use SPRG0 which, on RS/64, seems to be read-only for supervisor mode (like POWER4). This reworks the STAB exception entry to use the PACA as temporary storage instead. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
