PACA_DSCR offset macro tracks dscr_default element in the paca
structure. Better change the name of this macro to match that of the
data element it tracks. Makes the code more readable.

<title>powerpc: Change vrX register defines to vX to match gcc and glibc</title>

As our various loops (copy, string, crypto etc) get more complicated,
we want to share implementations between userspace (eg glibc) and
the kernel. We also want to write userspace test harnesses to put
in tools/testing/selftest.

One gratuitous difference between userspace and the kernel is the
VMX register definitions - the kernel uses vrX whereas both gcc and
glibc use vX.

Change the kernel to match userspace.

<title>powerpc: Fix regression of per-CPU DSCR setting</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit "efcac65 powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)"
it is no longer possible to set the DSCR on a per-CPU basis.

The old behaviour was to minipulate the DSCR SPR directly but this is no
longer sufficient: the value is quickly overwritten by context switching.

This patch stores the per-CPU DSCR value in a kernel variable rather than
directly in the SPR and it is used whenever a process has not set the DSCR
itself. The sysfs interface (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr) is unchanged.

Writes to the old global default (/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default)
now set all of the per-CPU values and reads return the last written value.

The new per-CPU default is added to the paca_struct and is used everywhere
outside of sysfs.c instead of the old global default.

If we do a treclaim and we are not in TM suspend mode, it results in a TM bad
thing (ie. a 0x700 program check).  Similarly if we do a trechkpt and we have
an active transaction or TEXASR Failure Summary (FS) is not set, we also take a
TM bad thing.

This should never happen, but if it does (ie. a kernel bug), the cause is
almost impossible to debug as the GPR state is mostly userspace and hence we
don't get a call chain.

This adds some checks in these cases case a BUG_ON() (in asm) in case we ever
hit these cases.  It moves the register saving around to preserve r1 till later
also.

We save r1 to the scratch SPR and restore it from there after the trechkpt so
saving r1 to the paca is not needed.

We can't take an IRQ when we're about to do a trechkpt as our GPR state is set
to user GPR values.

We've hit this when running some IBM Java stress tests in the lab resulting in

This moves tm_recheckpoint to a C function and moves the tm_restore_sprs into
