[PATCH] powernv:idle: Clear r12 on wakeup from stop lite

pnv_wakeup_noloss expects R12 to contain SRR1 value to determine if
the wakeup reason is an HMI in CHECK_HMI_INTERRUPT.

When we wakeup with ESL=0, SRR1 will not contain the wakeup reason, so
there is no point setting R12 to SRR1.

However, we don't set R12 at all and R12 contains garbage, and still
being used to check HMI assuming that it had SRR1. causing the
OPAL msglog to be filled with the following print:
	HMI: Received HMI interrupt: HMER = 0x0040000000000000

This patch clears R12 after waking up from stop with ESL=EC=0, so that
we don't accidentally enter the HMI handler in pnv_wakeup_noloss if
the R12[42:45] corresponds to HMI as wakeup reason.

Bug existed prior to "commit 9d29250136f6 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR
usage in idle sleep/wake paths")  but was never hit in practice
