powerpc: Save caller r3 prior to system_call_exception
This reverts commit 8875f47b7681 ("powerpc/syscall: Save r3 in regs->orig_r3 "). Save caller's original r3 state to the kernel stackframe before entering system_call_exception. This allows for user registers to be cleared by the time system_call_exception is entered, reducing the influence of user registers on speculation within the kernel. Prior to this commit, orig_r3 was saved at the beginning of system_call_exception. Instead, save orig_r3 while the user value is still live in r3. Also replicate this early save in 32-bit. A similar save was removed in commit 6f76a01173cc ("powerpc/syscall: implement system call entry/exit logic in C for PPC32") when 32-bit adopted system_call_exception. Revert its removal of orig_r3 saves.
