[PATCH V4 4/8] powerpc, ptrace: Enable fpr_(get/set) for transactional memory

This patch enables the fpr_get which gets the running value of all
the FPR registers and the fpr_set which sets the running value of
of all the FPR registers to accommodate in transaction ptrace
interface based requests.
