[v3] selftests/powerpc: Add test to check if TAR is corrupted

If the transaction is aborted, the TAR should be rolled back to the
checkpointed value before the transaction began. The value written to the
TAR when the transaction is suspended should only remain there if the
transaction completes successfully.
