KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix trap number return from __kvmppc_vcore_entry

This fixes a bug where the trap number that is returned by
__kvmppc_vcore_entry gets corrupted.  The effect of the corruption
is that IPIs get ignored on POWER9 systems when the IPI is sent via
a doorbell interrupt to a CPU which is executing in a KVM guest.
The effect of the IPI being ignored is often that another CPU locks
up inside smp_call_function_many() (and if that CPU is holding a
spinlock, other CPUs then lock up inside raw_spin_lock()).

The trap number is currently held in register r12 for most of the
assembly-language part of the guest exit path.  In that path, we
call kvmppc_subcore_exit_guest(), which is a C function, without
restoring r12 afterwards.  Depending on the kernel config and the
compiler, it may modify r12 or it may not, so some config/compiler
combinations see the bug and others don't.

To fix this, we arrange for the trap number to be stored on the
stack from the 'guest_bypass:' label until the end of the function,
then the trap number is loaded and returned in r12 as before.
