powerpc/tm: Switch out userspace PPR and DSCR sooner
When we do a treclaim or trecheckpoint we end up running with userspace PPR and DSCR values. Currently we don't do anything special to avoid running with user values which could cause a severe performance degradation. This patch moves the PPR and DSCR save and restore around treclaim and trecheckpoint so that we run with user values for a much shorter period. More care is taken with the PPR as it's impact is greater than the DSCR. This is similar to user exceptions, where we run HTM_MEDIUM early to ensure that we don't run with a userspace PPR values in the kernel.
