[PATCH v2 12/14] powerpc/64s: Use {NULLIFY,SAVE,REST}_GPRS macros in sc, scv 0 handlers

Use the convenience macros for saving/clearing/restoring gprs in keeping
with syscall calling conventions. The plural variants of these macros
can store a range of registers for concision.

This works well when the save-to-stack logic is simple (a gpr is saved
to its corresponding offset in the struct pt_regs on the stack).
Wherever a different gpr is storing the initial value of another gpr at
the interrupt location, care must be taken to issue the correct save
instruction and so the macros are not applied in neighbouring stores.
