[PATCH v3 1/3] selftests: powerpc: Fix pkey access right updates

[Sandipan Das <sandipan@linux.ibm.com>]

The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context synchronizing instruction.

This makes sure that the tests follow this requirement
when attempting to update a pkey's access rights.
