[PATCH v3 15/18] powerpc: Emulate paste instruction

From: Michael Neuling <mikey at neuling.org>

On POWER9 DD2.1 and below there are issues when the paste instruction
generates an error. If an error occurs when thread reconfiguration
happens (ie another thread in the core goes into/out of powersave) the
core may hang.

To avoid this a special sequence is required which stops thread
configuration so that the paste can be safely executed.

This patch assumes paste executed in userspace are trapped into the
illegal instruction exception at 0xe40.

Here we re-execute the paste instruction but with the required
sequence to ensure thread reconfiguration doesn't occur.

Changlog[v3]:
	- [Michael Ellerman] We don't need to disable/enable pagefaults
	  when emulating paste;
	- [Michael Ellerman, Aneesh Kumar] Fix retval from emulate_paste()

Edit by Sukadev: Use PPC_PASTE() rather than the paste instruction since
	in older versions the instruction required a third parameter.
