powerpc: introduce arch_enter_from_user_mode

Browse source

Implement the arch_enter_from_user_mode() hook required by the generic
entry/exit framework. This helper prepares the CPU state when entering
the kernel from userspace, ensuring correct handling of KUAP/KUEP,
transactional memory, and debug register state.

This patch contains no functional changes, it is purely preparatory for
enabling the generic syscall and interrupt entry path on PowerPC.
