KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register state
commit 0d808df0 upstream. When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress, we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state. Although XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER. This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER. To allow userspace to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG specifier. The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER value being corrupted when it uses transactions.
