powerpc: add exit_flags field in pt_regs
Add a new field `exit_flags` in the pt_regs structure. This field will hold
the flags set during interrupt or syscall execution that are required during
exit to user mode.
Specifically, the `TIF_RESTOREALL` flag, stored in this field, helps the
exit routine determine if any NVGPRs were modified and need to be restored
before returning to userspace.
This addition ensures a clean and architecture-specific mechanism to track
per-syscall or per-interrupt state transitions related to register restore.
Changes:
- Add `exit_flags` and `__pt_regs_pad` to maintain 16-byte stack alignment
- Update asm-offsets.c and ptrace.c for offset and validation
- Update PT_* constants in uapi header to reflect the new layout
