On each sample, Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA) content is
saved in pt_regs. MMCRA does not have a entry as-is in the pt_regs but
instead, MMCRA content is saved in the "dsisr" register of pt_regs.
Patch adds another entry to the perf_regs structure to include the
"MMCRA" printing which internally maps to the "dsisr" of pt_regs.
It also check for the MMCRA availability in the platform and present
value accordingly
mpe: This was the 2nd patch in a series with commit 333804dc3b
("powerpc/perf: Update perf_regs structure to include SIER") but I
accidentally only merged the 1st patch, so merge this one now.

When a kthread calls call_usermodehelper() the steps are:
1. allocate current->mm
2. load_elf_binary()
3. populate current->thread.regs
While doing this, interrupts are not disabled. If there is a perf
interrupt in the middle of this process (i.e. step 1 has completed
but not yet reached to step 3) and if perf tries to read userspace
regs, kernel oops with following log:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000000da0fc

Fix it by setting abi to PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE when userspace
pt_regs are not set.

We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

The perf infrastructure uses a bit mask to find out valid registers to
display. Define a register mask for supported registers defined in
uapi/asm/perf_regs.h. The bit positions also correspond to register IDs
which is used by perf infrastructure to fetch the register values.
CONFIG_HAVE_PERF_REGS enables sampling of the interrupted machine state.
