[PATCH 25/33] powerpc/64s/exception: remove lite interrupt return

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin at gmail.com>

The difference between lite and regular returns is that the lite case
restores all NVGPRs, whereas lite skips that. This is quite clumsy
though, most interrupts want the NVGPRs saved for debugging, not to
modify in the caller, so the NVGPRs restore is not necessary most of
the time. Restore NVGPRs explicitly for one case that requires it,
and move everything else over to avoiding the restore unless the
interrupt return demands it (e.g., handling a signal).
