Subject: [PATCH powerpc] fix unpaired __trace_hcall_entry and
 __trace_hcall_exit

Unpaired calling of __trace_hcall_entry and __trace_hcall_exit could
cause incorrect preempt count. And it might happen as the global
variable hcall_tracepoint_refcount is checked separately before calling
them. 

I don't know much about the powerpc arch. But the idea here is to store
the hcall_tracepoint_refcount locally, so __trace_hcall_entry and
__trace_hcall_exit will be called or not called in pair by checking the
same value.
