Subject: powerpc/64s: Convert slb_miss_common to use RFI_TO_USER/KERNEL

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

commit c7305645eb0c1621351cfc104038831ae87c0053 upstream.

In the SLB miss handler we may be returning to user or kernel. We need
to add a check early on and save the result in the cr4 register, and
then we bifurcate the return path based on that.
