Commit f51246efee2b ("MIPS: Get rid of finish_arch_switch().") moved the
__restore_watch() call from finish_arch_switch() (i.e. after resume()
returns) to before the resume() call in switch_to(). This results in
watchpoints only being restored when a task is descheduled, preventing
the watchpoints from being effective most of the time, except due to
chance before the watchpoints are lazily removed.
Fix the call sequence from switch_to() through to
mips_install_watch_registers() to pass the task_struct pointer of the
next task, instead of using current. This allows the watchpoints for the
next (non-current) task to be restored without reintroducing
finish_arch_switch().

Implement assembler helper macros in asm/pm.h for platform code to use
for saving context across low power states - for example suspend to RAM
or powered down cpuidle states. Macros are provided for saving and
restoring the main CPU context used by C code and doing important
configuration which must be done very early during resume. Notably EVA
needs segmentation control registers to be restored before the stack or
dynamically allocated memory is accessed, so that state is saved in
global data.

Add a CPU power management notifier callback for preserving general CPU
context. The CPU PM callbacks will be triggered by the powering down of
CPU cores, for example by cpuidle drivers & in the future by suspend to
RAM implementations.
The current state preserved is mostly related to the process context:
- FPU
- DSP
- ASID
- UserLocal
- Watch registers
