commit 573ebfa6601f ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit
userspace to 512 bytes") only changes stack userspace redzone size.
We need increase the kernel one to 512 bytes too per ABIv2 spec.

  * the new ELFv2 little-endian ABI, so we allow the larger amount.

- * For kernel code we allow a 288-byte redzone, in order to conserve
- * kernel stack space; gcc currently only uses 288 bytes, and will
- * hopefully allow explicit control of the redzone size in future.
