[PATCH] powerpc/kvm: Save and restore AMR instead of zeroing

Using the hash MMU on P7+, the AMR is used for pkeys.  It's important
that the host and guest never end up with each other's AMR value, since
this could disrupt operations and break things.

The AMR gets correctly restored on context switch, however before this
happens (i.e. in a program like qemu) having the host value of the AMR
be zero would interfere with that program using pkeys.

In addition, the AMR on Radix can control kernel access to userspace
data, which you wouldn't want to be zeroed.

So, just save and restore it like the other registers that get saved and
restored.

I'm not entirely sure the stack frame numbers are correct, I've tested it
and it works but it'd be good if someone could double check this.
