Subject: sparc64: fix fault handling in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S

From: Dave Aldridge <david.j.aldridge@oracle.com>

commit 3c7f62212018b904ae17f5636ead18a4dca3a88f upstream.

When any of the functions contained in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S
vector through *bzero_from_clear_user, we may end up taking a
fault when executing one of the store alternate address space
instructions. If this happens, the exception handler does not
restore the %asi register.

This commit fixes the issue by introducing a new exception
handler that ensures the %asi register is restored when
a fault is handled.
