Nicholas Piggin 18e3f56b1c powerpc/64: Optimise syscall entry for virtual, relocatable case
The mflr r10 instruction was left over from when the code used LR to
branch to system_call_entry from the exception handler. That was
changed by commit 6a404806df ("powerpc: Avoid link stack corruption in
MMU on syscall entry path") to use the count register. The value is
never used now, so mflr can be removed, and r10 can be used for storage
rather than spilling to the SPR scratch register.

The scratch register spill causes a long pipeline stall due to the SPR
read after write. This change brings getppid syscall cost from 406 to
376 cycles on POWER8. getppid for non-relocatable case is 371 cycles.
