powerpc: Add helper functions for transactional memory context switching

Here we add the helper functions to be used when context switching.  These
allow us to fully reclaim and recheckpoint a transaction.

We introduce a new paca field called tm_scratch to help us store away register
values when doing the low level tm reclaim register save.
