[PATCH 18/18] powerpc/64s/exception: program check handler do not branch into a macro

It's a bit too clever to jump to a label inside an expanded macro,
particularly when the label is just a number rather than a descriptive
name.

So expand interrupt handler code twice, for the stack and no stack
cases, and branch to those. The slight code size increase is worth
the improved clarity of branches for this non-performance critical
code.
