[PATCH] powerpc/fsl_book3e: fix the relocatable bug in debug interrupt handler

PowerPC Book3E processor features hardware-supported single instruction
execution, and it is used for ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, ...). When a debugger
loads a debuggee, it typically sets the CPU to yield debug interrupt on first
instruction complete or branch taken. However, the newly-forked child process
could run into instruction TLB miss exception handler when switched to, and
causes a debug interrupt in the exception entry sequence. This is not expected
by caller of ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, ...), so the next instruction address
saved in DSRR0 is checked against the boundary of exception entry sequence, to
ensure the kernel only process the interrupt as a normal exception if the
address does not fall in the exception entry sequence. Failure in obtaining
the correct boundary leads to such debug exception handled as from privileged
mode, and causes kernel oops.
The LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE can't be used to load the boundary addresses when
relocatable enabled, so this patch replace them with LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC. LR is
backed up and restored before and after calling LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC, because
LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC clobbers it.
