[PATCH 2/3] powerpc: Avoid load hit store in setup_sigcontext()

[Anton Blanchard <anton@ozlabs.org>]

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

In setup_sigcontext(), we set current->thread.vrsave then use it
straight after. Since current is hidden from the compiler via inline
assembly, it cannot optimise this and we end up with a load hit store.

Fix this by using a temporary.
