[PATCH] ppc64: allow ptrace to set TM bits

[Laurent Dufour]

This patch allows the MSR bits relative to the Transactional memory
state to be manipulated through the ptrace API.

However, in the case the TM available bit is not set in the
manipulated MSR, the changes are ignored.

When dealing with the checkpointed MSR, we must be sure that the TM
state bits will not be set since the checkpointed state can't be a
transactional one.

This patch is a follow up of the Anshuman's series pushed by Simon
Guo recently, titled "Add new powerpc specific ELF core notes" :
