[PATCH v2] Powerpc/Watchpoint: Restore nvgprs while returning from exception

[Ravi Bangoria]

Powerpc hw triggers watchpoint before executing the instruction. To
make trigger-after-execute behavior, kernel emulates the instruction.
If the instruction is 'load something into non-volatile register',
exception handler should restore emulated register state while
returning back, otherwise there will be register state corruption.
Ex, Adding a watchpoint on a list can corrput the list:

  # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kthread_create_list
  c00000000121c8b8 d kthread_create_list

Add watchpoint on kthread_create_list->prev:

  # perf record -e mem:0xc00000000121c8c0

Run some workload such that new kthread gets invoked. Ex, I just
logged out from console:

  list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (c000000001214e00), \
	but was c00000000121c8b8. (next=c00000000121c8b8).

List corruption happened because it uses 'load into non-volatile
register' instruction:

Watchpoint hit at 0xc000000000136bec.

  addis   r29,r2,-19
   => r29 = 0xc000000001344e00 + (-19 << 16)
   => r29 = 0xc000000001214e00

  ld      r29,31424(r29)
   => r29 = *(0xc000000001214e00 + 31424)
   => r29 = *(0xc00000000121c8c0)

0xc00000000121c8c0 is where we placed a watchpoint and thus this
instruction was emulated by emulate_step. But because handle_dabr_fault
did not restore emulated register state, r29 still contains stale
value in above register state.

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/10/1058
v1->v2:
Successful do_page_fault returns using ret_from_except_lite at
the same place where handle_dabr_fault also returns. v1 messed
up with do_page_fault return path. Fix that in v2.
