Revert "powerpc/64: Avoid restore_math call if possible in syscall exit"
This reverts commit bc4f65e4cf9d6cc43e0e9ba0b8648cf9201cd55f. As reported by Andreas, this commit is causing unrecoverable SLB misses in the system call exit path: Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c00000000000a1ec Oops: Unrecoverable exception, sig: 6 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=2 PowerMac ...
