powerpc: Introduce syscall exit arch functions

Browse source

Add PowerPC-specific implementations of the generic syscall exit hooks
used by the generic entry/exit framework:

 - arch_exit_to_user_mode_work_prepare()
 - arch_exit_to_user_mode_work()

These helpers handle user state restoration when returning from the
kernel to userspace, including FPU/VMX/VSX state, transactional memory,
KUAP restore, and per-CPU accounting.

Additionally, move check_return_regs_valid() from interrupt.c to
interrupt.h so it can be shared by the new entry/exit logic.

No functional change is intended with this patch.
