[PATCH v4 04/23] powerpc/32: Reorder instructions to avoid using CTR in syscall entry

[Christophe Leroy]

Now that we are using rfi instead of mtmsr to reactivate MMU, it is
possible to reorder instructions and avoid the need to use CTR for
stashing SRR0.

null_syscall on 8xx is reduced by 3 cycles (283 => 280 cycles).
