[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Avoid load hit store in __giveup_fpu() and __giveup_altivec()

[Anton Blanchard <anton@ozlabs.org>]

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

In both __giveup_fpu() and __giveup_altivec() we make two modifications
to tsk->thread.regs->msr. gcc decides to do a read/modify/write of
each change, so we end up with a load hit store:

        ld      r9,264(r10)
        rldicl  r9,r9,50,1
        rotldi  r9,r9,14
        std     r9,264(r10)
...
        ld      r9,264(r10)
        rldicl  r9,r9,40,1
        rotldi  r9,r9,24
        std     r9,264(r10)

Fix this by using a temporary.
