powerpc/64s: Fix stack setup in watchdog soft_nmi_common()
The watchdog soft-NMI exception stack setup loads a stack pointer twice, which is an obvious error. It ends up using the system reset interrupt (true-NMI) stack, which is also a bug because the watchdog could be preempted by a system reset interrupt that overwrites the NMI stack. Change the soft-NMI to use the "emergency stack". The current kernel stack is not used, because of the longer-term goal to prevent asynchronous stack access using soft-disable.
