Check that a syscall made during an active transaction will fail with
the correct failure code and that one made during a suspended
transaction will succeed.

v4:
Incorporated changes suggested by Michael Ellerman:
I added a GPL header, fixed up some formatting, and switched to
__builtin_get_texasru() which works for 32-bit.
v2:
Further testing has shown that the success or failure of the transactions was
affected by minor changes to the code, compiler optimisation and linker
settings.
To address this, I've moved the transactional part of the test to a separate
function, written in assembly. I've also extended the test to as many
transactions as it can fit into ten seconds, to better test for failures that
occur more rarely. This has stabilised the results, and it's no longer
necessary to use special compiler or linker flags.
