powerpc/powernv: copy/paste - Mask XERS0 bit in CR

NX can set 3rd bit in CR register for XER[SO] (Summation overflow)
which is not related to paste request. The current paste function
returns failure for the successful request when this bit is set.
So mask this bit and check the proper return status.
