[PATCH v5 17/22] powerpc/syscall: Do not check unsupported scv vector on PPC32

Only PPC64 has scv. No need to check the 0x7ff0 trap on PPC32.
For that, add a helper trap_is_unsupported_scv() similar to
trap_is_scv().

And ignore the scv parameter in syscall_exit_prepare (Save 14 cycles
346 => 332 cycles)
