[PATCH] powerpc: Fix runlatch performance issues

The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch
code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time
this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle
loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor.

Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for
it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle
loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32.
