From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap at infradead.org>

Fix malformed table warning in powerpc/syscall64-abi.rst by making
two tables and moving the headings.

Documentation/powerpc/syscall64-abi.rst:53: WARNING: Malformed table.
Text in column margin in table line 2.

=========== ============= ========================================
--- For the sc instruction, differences with the ELF ABI ---
r0          Volatile      (System call number.)
r3          Volatile      (Parameter 1, and return value.)
r4-r8       Volatile      (Parameters 2-6.)
cr0         Volatile      (cr0.SO is the return error condition.)
cr1, cr5-7  Nonvolatile
lr          Nonvolatile

--- For the scv 0 instruction, differences with the ELF ABI ---
r0          Volatile      (System call number.)
r3          Volatile      (Parameter 1, and return value.)
r4-r8       Volatile      (Parameters 2-6.)
