Bharat Bhushan 13d543cd79 powerpc: Restore dbcr0 on user space exit
On BookE (Branch taken + Single Step) is as same as Branch Taken
on BookS and in Linux we simulate BookS behavior for BookE as well.
When doing so, in Branch taken handling we want to set DBCR0_IC but
we update the current->thread->dbcr0 and not DBCR0.

Now on 64bit the current->thread.dbcr0 (and other debug registers)
is synchronized ONLY on context switch flow. But after handling
Branch taken in debug exception if we return back to user space
without context switch then single stepping change (DBCR0_ICMP)
does not get written in h/w DBCR0 and Instruction Complete exception
does not happen.

This fixes using ptrace reliably on BookE-PowerPC

lmbench latency test (lat_syscall) Results are (they varies a little
on each run)

1) ./lat_syscall <action> /dev/shm/uImage

action:	Open	read	write	stat	fstat	null
Before:	3.8618	0.2017	0.2851	1.6789	0.2256	0.0856
After:	3.8580	0.2017	0.2851	1.6955	0.2255	0.0856

1) ./lat_syscall -P 2 -N 10 <action> /dev/shm/uImage
action:	Open	read	write	stat	fstat	null
Before:	4.1388	0.2238	0.3066	1.7106	0.2256	0.0856
After:	4.1413	0.2236	0.3062	1.7107	0.2256	0.0856

[ Slightly modified to avoid extra branch in the fast path
  on Book3S and fix build on all non-BookE 64-bit -- BenH
