[PATCH] selftests/powerpc/tm: Fix tcheck() reading uninitialised CR value

[Thibault Ferrante]

tcheck() is used to check the current transaction state (active,
suspended, doomed) via the "tcheck" instruction, which writes its
result into CR field 0. The inline asm declared a GPR output operand
for this result but never actually moved the CR into it.

Every caller (tcheck_doomed(), tcheck_active(), tcheck_suspended(),
tcheck_transactional()) has effectively been testing bits of an unrelated,
arbitrary register value since this helper was introduced.
The "& 4" mask discards the TDOOMED and TS_lsb (suspended) bits before
they ever reach the callers, so tcheck_doomed() and tcheck_suspended()
can never return true, and tcheck_transactional() degrades to being
equivalent to tcheck_active().

Fix tcheck() to actually move CR into the output register with mfcr,
and widen the mask from "& 4" to "& 0xf" so the full CR0 nibble
(TDOOMED | TS_msb | TS_lsb | reserved) is preserved for the callers.

This bug has been present since tcheck() was introduced.
