Subject: [PATCH 6/6] powerpc/64: Use barrier_nospec in syscall entry

Our syscall entry is done in assembly so patch in an explicit
barrier_nospec.

Based on a patch by Michal Suchanek.

mpe: Move the barrier to immediately prior to the vulnerable load,
     and add a comment trying to explain why. Drop the barrier from
     syscall_dotrace, because that syscall number comes from the
     kernel.
