powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int
Embedded.Hypervisor category defines GSPRG0..3 physical registers for guests. Avoid SPRG4-7 usage as scratch in host exception handlers, otherwise guest SPRG4-7 registers will be clobbered. For bolted TLB miss exception handlers, which is the version currently supported by KVM, use SPRN_SPRG_GEN_SCRATCH aka SPRG0 instead of SPRN_SPRG_TLB_SCRATCH aka SPRG6. Keep using TLB PACA slots to fit in one 64-byte cache line. For critical exception handlers use SPRG3 instead of SPRG7. Provide a routine to store and restore user-visible SPRGs. This will be subsequently used to restore VDSO information in SPRG3. Add EX_R13 to paca slots to free up SPRG3 and change the critical exception epilog to use it.
