I think commit bd6fefe has already made the change in
target-ppc/excp_helper.c:

     case POWERPC_EXCP_SYSCALL:   /* System call exception
     */
         dump_syscall(env);
         lev = env->error_code;

+        /* We need to correct the NIP which in this case is supposed
+         * to point to the next instruction
+         */
+        env->nip += 4;
+
         /* "PAPR mode" built-in hypercall emulation */
         if ((lev == 1) && cpu_ppc_hypercall) {
             cpu_ppc_hypercall(cpu);

And target/ppc/translate.c:

#if defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY)
#define POWERPC_SYSCALL POWERPC_EXCP_SYSCALL_USER
#else
#define POWERPC_SYSCALL POWERPC_EXCP_SYSCALL
#endif

So I guess the fix should be only to revert the
POWERPC_EXCP_SYSCALL_USER change of bd6fefe with:

             if (ret == -TARGET_ERESTARTSYS) {
+                env->nip -= 4;
                 break;
             }
-            env->nip += 4;
             if (ret == (target_ulong)(-TARGET_QEMU_ESIGRETURN)) {
                 /* Returning from a successful sigreturn syscall.
                    Avoid corrupting register state.  */

Not sure anyway...
