Subject: [PATCH v13 02/30] powerpc/process: Add the function flush_tmregs_to_thread

From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch creates a function flush_tmregs_to_thread which
will then be used by subsequent patches in this series. The
function checks for self tracing ptrace interface attempts
while in the TM context and logs appropriate warning message.
