This reverts commit 8875f47b7681aa4e4484a9b612577b044725f839.
Save caller's original r3 state to the kernel stackframe before entering
system_call_exception. This allows for user registers to be cleared by
the time system_call_exception is entered, reducing the influence of
user registers on speculation within the kernel.
Prior to this commit, orig_r3 was saved at the beginning of
system_call_exception. Instead, save orig_r3 while the user value is
still live in r3.
Also replicate this early save in 32-bit. A similar save was removed in
6f76a01173cc
("powerpc/syscall: implement system call entry/exit logic in C for PPC32")
when 32-bit adopted system_call_exception. Revert its removal of orig_r3
saves.
