[PATCH V4 2/8] powerpc, process: Add functions flush_tm_state, flush_tmregs_to_thread

This patch creates a new function called flush_tm_state to flush
the existing transactional memory state from the thread. It also
creates a function called flush_tmregs_to_thread which will then
be used on subsequent patches in this series.
