[PATCH v4 13/16] powerpc: Support prefixed instructions in alignment handler

Alignment interrupts can be caused by prefixed instructions accessing
memory. Prefixed instructions are not permitted to cross 64-byte
boundaries. If they do the alignment interrupt is invoked with SRR1
BOUNDARY bit set.  If this occurs send a SIGBUS to the offending process
if in user mode.  If in kernel mode call bad_page_fault().

v2: - Move __get_user_instr() and __get_user_instr_inatomic() to this
commit (previously in "powerpc sstep: Prepare to support prefixed
instructions").
    - Rename sufx to suffix
    - Use a macro for calculating instruction length
v3: Move __get_user_{instr(), instr_inatomic()} up with the other
get_user definitions and remove nested if.
v4: Just do the things for alignment_exception(). Other changes handled
elsewhere.
