powerpc: Replace mfmsr instructions with load from PACA kernel_msr field
On 64-bit, the mfmsr instruction can be quite slow, slower than loading a field from the cache-hot PACA, which happens to already contain the value we want in most cases. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
