[PATCH v1] powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix check_return_regs_valid false positive

The check_return_regs_valid can cause a false positive if the return
regs are marked as norestart and they are an HSRR type interrupt,
because the low bit in the bottom of regs->trap causes interrupt
type matching to fail.

This can occcur for example on bare metal with a HV privileged doorbell
interrupt that causes a signal, but do_signal returns early because
get_signal() fails, and takes the "No signal to deliver" path. In this
case no signal was delivered so the return location is not changed so
return SRRs are not invalidated, yet set_trap_norestart is called, which
messes up the match. Building go-1.16.6 is known to reproduce this.

Fix it by using the TRAP() accessor which masks out the low bit.
