[PATCH v4 11/20] powerpc: Add ZEROIZE_GPRS macros for register clears

[Rohan McLure <rmclure@linux.ibm.com>]

Macros for restoring and saving registers to and from the stack exist.
Provide macros with the same interface for clearing a range of gprs by
setting each register's value in that range to zero.

The resulting macros are called ZEROIZE_GPRS and ZEROIZE_NVGPRS, keeping
with the naming of the accompanying restore and save macros, and usage
of zeroize to describe this operation elsewhere in the kernel.

Signed-off-by: Rohan McLure <rmclure@linux.ibm.com>

V1 -> V2: Change 'ZERO' usage in naming to 'NULLIFY', a more obvious verb
V2 -> V3: Change 'NULLIFY' usage in naming to 'ZEROIZE', which has
precedent in kernel and explicitly specifies that we are zeroing.
V3 -> V4: Update commit message to use zeroize.
