[PATCH v2] powerpc/e6500: hw tablewalk: make sure we invalidate and write to the same tlb entry

In order to workaround Erratum A-008139, we have to invalidate the
tlb entry with tlbilx before overwriting. Due to the performance
consideration, we don't add any memory barrier when acquire/release
the tcd lock. This means the two load instructions for esel_next do
have the possibility to return different value. This is definitely
not acceptable due to the Erratum A-008139. We have two options to
fix this issue:
a) Add memory barrier when acquire/release tcd lock to order the
load/store to esel_next.
b) Just make sure to invalidate and write to the same tlb entry and
tolerate the race that we may get the wrong value and overwrite
the tlb entry just updated by the other thread.
We observe better performance using option b. So reserve an additional
register to save the value of the esel_next.

v2: Use an additional register for saving the value of esel_next instead of lwsync.
