Subject: [PATCH 4.14 31/45] powerpc/lib/sstep: fix ptesync build error

From: Anders Roxell <anders.roxell@...aro.org>

commit fe663df7825811358531dc2e8a52d9eaa5e3515e upstream.

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:2088: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ptesync'
  make[3]: *** [/builds/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:287: arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.o] Error 1

Add the 'ifdef CONFIG_PPC64' around the 'ptesync' in function
'emulate_update_regs()' to like it is in 'analyse_instr()'. Since it looks like
it got dropped inadvertently by commit 3cdfcbfd32b9 ("powerpc: Change
analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs").

A key detail is that analyse_instr() will never recognise lwsync or
ptesync on 32-bit (because of the existing ifdef), and as a result
emulate_update_regs() should never be called with an op specifying
either of those on 32-bit. So removing them from emulate_update_regs()
should be a nop in terms of runtime behaviour.

Fixes: 3cdfcbfd32b9 ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs")
