[PATCH 4.4 01/67] Revert: "powerpc/tm: Check for already reclaimed tasks"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

This reverts commit e924c60db1b4891e45d15a33474ac5fab62cf029 which was
commit 7f821fc9c77a9b01fe7b1d6e72717b33d8d64142 upstream.

It shouldn't have been applied as the original was already in 4.4.
