powerpc: Use trap metadata to prevent double restart rather than zeroing trap
It's not very nice to zero trap for this, because then system calls no longer have trap_is_syscall(regs) invariant, and we can't distinguish between sc and scv system calls (in a later patch). Take one last unused bit from the low bits of the pt_regs.trap word for this instead. There is not a really good reason why it should be in trap as opposed to another field, but trap has some concept of flags and it exists. Ideally I think we would move trap to 2-byte field and have 2 more bytes available independently. Add a selftests case for this, which can be seen to fail if trap_norestart() is changed to return false.
