powerpc/kuap: Avoid unnecessary reads of MD_AP
A disassembly of interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() shows a useless read
of MD_AP register. This is shown by r9 being re-used immediately without
doing anything with the value read.

kuap_get_and_assert_locked() is paired with kuap_kernel_restore()
and are only used in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare(). The value
returned by kuap_get_and_assert_locked() is only used by
kuap_kernel_restore().
On 8xx, kuap_kernel_restore() doesn't use the value read by
kuap_get_and_assert_locked() so modify kuap_get_and_assert_locked()
to not perform the read of MD_AP and return 0 instead.
The same applies on BOOKE.
