selftests: Skip TM tests on synthetic TM implementations

Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For
threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM
implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets
cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue
as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to
make forward progress in the abort handler. The TEXASR indicates if a
transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation.

Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for
their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation
and skip the test if so.

selftests/powerpc: Fix earlyclobber in tm-vmxcopy

In some cases, compiler can allocate the same register for operand 'res'
and 'vecoutptr', resulting in segfault at 'stxvd2x 40,0,%[vecoutptr]'
because base register will contain 1, yielding a false-positive.

This is because output 'res' must be marked as an earlyclobber operand so
it may not overlap an input operand ('vecoutptr').

selftests/powerpc: Only run some tests on ppc64le

These tests are currently failing on (some) big endian systems. Until
we can fix that, skip them unless we're on ppc64le.

selftests/powerpc: Add test to check if VSRs are corrupted

When a transaction is aborted, VSR values should rollback to the
checkpointed values before the transaction began. VSRs used elsewhere in
the kernel during a transaction, or while the transaction is suspended
should not affect the checkpointed values.

Prior to the bug fix in commit d31626f70b61 ("powerpc: Don't corrupt
transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel") when VMX was requested
by the kernel the .vr_state (which held the checkpointed state of VSRs
before the transaction) was overwritten with the current state from
outside the transation. Thus if the transaction did not complete, the
VSR values would be "rolled back" to potentially incorrect values.
