powerpc: Prepare to build with generic entry/exit framework
This patch introduces preparatory changes needed to support building PowerPC with the generic entry/exit (irqentry) framework. The following infrastructure updates are added: - Add a syscall_work field to struct thread_info to hold SYSCALL_WORK_* flags. - Provide a stub implementation of arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn(), returning false for now. - Introduce on_thread_stack() helper to detect if the current stack pointer lies within the task’s kernel stack. These additions enable later integration with the generic entry/exit infrastructure while keeping existing PowerPC behavior unchanged. No functional change is intended in this patch.
