[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH v2] linux-user: ppc64: don't use volatile register during safe_syscall |

r11 is a volatile register on PPC as per calling conventions.
The safe_syscall code uses it to check if the signal_pending
is set during the safe_syscall. When a syscall is interrupted
on return from signal handling, the r11 might be corrupted
before we retry the syscall leading to a crash. The registers
r0-r13 are not to be used here as they have
volatile/designated/reserved usages. Change the code to use
r14 which is non-volatile and is appropriate for local use in
safe_syscall.
Steps to reproduce:
On PPC host, issue `qemu-x86_64 /usr/bin/cc -E -`
Attempt Ctrl-C, the issue is reproduced.
