[PATCH v2] arch/powerpc: Rework local_paca to avoid LTO warnings

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair at d-silva.org>

When building an LTO kernel, the existing code generates warnings:
    ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:37:30: warning: register of
        ‘local_paca’ used for multiple global register variables
     register struct paca_struct *local_paca asm("r13");
                                  ^
    ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:37:30: note: conflicts with
        ‘local_paca’

This patch reworks local_paca into an inline getter & setter function,
which addresses the warning.

Changelog:
V2
  - Address whitespace issues
  - keep new implementation close to where the old implementation was
