s390/entry: save the caller of psw_idle

Currently psw_idle does not allocate a stack frame and does not
save its r14 and r15 into the save area. Even though this is valid from
call ABI point of view, because psw_idle does not make any calls
explicitly, in reality psw_idle is an entry point for controlled
transition into serving interrupts. So, in practice, psw_idle stack
frame is analyzed during stack unwinding. Depending on build options
that r14 slot in the save area of psw_idle might either contain a value
saved by previous sibling call or complete garbage.

  [task   *0000038000003dd8] psw_idle_exit+0x0/0x8 <-- pt_regs
 ([task    0000038000003dd8] 0x0)
  [task    0000038000003e10] default_idle_call+0x42/0x148
  [task    0000038000003e30] do_idle+0xce/0x160
  [task    0000038000003e70] cpu_startup_entry+0x36/0x40
  [task    0000038000003ea0] arch_call_rest_init+0x76/0x80

So, to make a stacktrace nicer and actually point for the real caller of
psw_idle in this frequently occurring case, make psw_idle save its r14.
