Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.0 076/262] powerpc/fsl: Fix the flush of branch predictor.

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

[ Upstream commit 27da80719ef132cf8c80eb406d5aeb37dddf78cc ]

The commit identified below adds MC_BTB_FLUSH macro only when
CONFIG_PPC_FSL_BOOK3E is defined. This results in the following error
on some configs (seen several times with kisskb randconfig_defconfig)

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64e.S:576: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mc_btb_flush'
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:367: arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64e.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:492: arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1043: arch/powerpc] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:152: sub-make] Error 2

This patch adds a blank definition of MC_BTB_FLUSH for other cases.

Fixes: 10c5e83afd4a ("powerpc/fsl: Flush the branch predictor at each kernel entry (64bit)")
