[PATCH 2/4] powerpc/64s: remove support for kernel-mode syscalls

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

There is support for the kernel to execute the 'sc 0' instruction and
make a system call to itself. This is a relic that is unused in the
tree, therefore untested. It's also highly questionable for modules to
be doing this.
