Subject: boot regression on ppc64 with linux 6.2

I'm triggering the following bug when booting my qemu powerpc VM:

I did a bisect it and it seems that the offending commit is:
baa49d81a94b ("powerpc/pseries: hvcall stack frame overhead")

Reverting that and also dfecd06bc552 ("powerpc: remove
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD"), because we need to re-introduce
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, seems to fix everything.
