    powerpc: Set the correct ksp_limit on ppc32 when switching to irq stack

    The reason is that we have used the wrong register to calculate the
    ksp_limit in commit cbc9565ee826 (powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64).
    Just fix it.
    
    As suggested by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, also add the C prototype of the
    function in the comment in order to avoid such kind of errors in the
    future.
