Subject: [PATCH 4.19 128/148] Revert "powerpc/tm: Unset MSR[TS] if not recheckpointing"

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit a9935a12768851762089fda8e5a9daaf0231808e which is
commit 6f5b9f018f4c7686fd944d920209d1382d320e4e upstream.

It breaks the powerpc build, so drop it from the tree until a fix goes
upstream.
