[PATCH v2 09/11] powerpc/8xx: dont save CR in SCRATCH registers

CR only needs to be preserved when checking if we are handling a kernel address.
So we can preserve CR in a register:
- In ITLBMiss, check is done only when CONFIG_MODULES is defined. Otherwise we
don't need to do anything at all with CR.
- We use r10, then we reload SRR0/MD_EPN into r10 when CR is restored

v2: removed the CPU6 specific handling of CR which was saving (only) 1 cycle but
was making the code more difficult to maintain due to too many different cases
