[PATCH] powerpc/tm: Drop tm_orig_msr from thread_struct

[PATCH] powerpc/tm: Drop tm_orig_msr from thread_struct

[Anshuman Khandual]

Currently tm_orig_msr is getting used during process context switch only.
Then there is ckpt_regs which saves the checkpointed userspace context
The MSR slot contained in ckpt_regs structure can be used during process
context switch instead of tm_orig_msr, thus allowing us to drop it from
thread_struct structure. This patch does that change.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
