[PATCH 1/1] arch/powerpc: Rework local_paca to avoid LTO warnings

[Alastair D'Silva]

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When building an LTO kernel, the existing code generates warnings:
    ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:37:30: warning: register of
        âlocal_pacaâ used for multiple global register variables
     register struct paca_struct *local_paca asm("r13");
                              ^
    ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:37:30: note: conflicts with
        âlocal_pacaâ

This patch reworks local_paca into an inline getter & setter function,
which addresses the warning.

Generated ASM from this patch is broadly similar (addresses have
changed and the compiler uses different GPRs in some places).
