powerpc/64s/exception: Move real to virt switch into the common handler

The real mode interrupt entry points currently use rfid to branch to
the common handler in virtual mode. This is a significant amount of
code, and forces other code (notably the KVM test) to live in the
real mode handler.

In the interest of minimising the amount of code that runs unrelocated
move the switch to virt mode into the common code, and do it with
mtmsrd, which avoids clobbering SRRs (although the post-KVMTEST
performance of real-mode interrupt handlers is not a big concern these
days).

This requires CTR to always be saved (real-mode needs to reach 0xc...)
but that's not a huge impact these days. It could be optimized away in
future.

mpe: Incorporate fix from Nick:

It's possible for interrupts to be replayed when TM is enabled and
suspended, for example rt_sigreturn, where the mtmsrd MSR_KERNEL in
the real-mode entry point to the common handler causes a TM Bad Thing
exception (due to attempting to clear suspended).

The fix for this is to have replay interrupts go to the _virt entry
point and skip the mtmsrd, which matches what happens before this
patch.
