This reverts commit feba40362b.
Although the principle of this change is good, the implementation has a
few issues.
Firstly we can sometimes fail to abort a syscall because r12 may have
been clobbered by C code if we went down the virtual CPU accounting
path, or if syscall tracing was enabled.
Secondly we have decided that it is safer to abort the syscall even
earlier in the syscall entry path, so that we avoid the syscall tracing
path when we are transactional.
So that we have time to thoroughly test those changes we have decided to
revert this for this merge window and will merge the fixed version in
the next window.
NB. Rather than reverting the selftest we just drop tm-syscall from
TEST_PROGS so that it's not run by default.

The bulk of the selftests are actually below the powerpc sub directory.
This adds support for installing them, when on a powerpc machine, or if
ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set appropriately.
This is a little more complicated because of the sub directory structure
under powerpc, but much of the common logic in lib.mk is still used. The
net effect of the patch is still a reduction in code.

Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is
context switched during a transaction.
The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving
the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's
default value:
__switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm()
which calls tm_reclaim_task()
which calls tm_reclaim_thread()
which calls tm_reclaim()
where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default
__switch_to() calls _switch()
where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR
When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual)
and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value
will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by
the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case
the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the
transaction.
The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early
in __switch_to().
A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as:
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.
