[PATCH] powerpc: Fix kernel crash in emulation of vector loads and stores

Commit 350779a29f11 ("powerpc: Handle most loads and stores in
instruction emulation code", 2017-08-30) changed the register usage
in get_vr and put_vr with the aim of leaving the register number in
r3 untouched on return. Unfortunately, r6 was not a good choice, as
the callers as of 350779a29f11 store a MSR value in r6. Then, in
commit c22435a5f3d8 ("powerpc: Emulate FP/vector/VSX loads/stores
correctly when regs not live", 2017-08-30), the saving and restoring
of the MSR got moved into get_vr and put_vr. Either way, the effect
is that we put a value in MSR that only has the 0x3f8 bits non-zero,
meaning that we are switching to 32-bit mode. That leads to a crash
like this:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch

To fix this, we just revert to using r3 as before, since the callers
don't rely on r3 being left unmodified.
Fortunately, this can't be triggered by a misaligned load or store,
because vector loads and stores truncate misaligned addresses rather
than taking an alignment interrupt. It can be triggered using
uprobes.
