Following OOPS is encountered while loading test_bpf module

Commit ac9f97ff8b32 ("powerpc/8xx: Inconditionally use task PGDIR in
DTLB misses") relies on re-reading DAR register to know if an error is
due to a missing copy of a PMD entry in task's PGDIR, allthough DAR
was already read in the exception prolog and copied into thread
struct. This is because is it done very early in the exception and
there are not enough registers available to keep a pointer to thread
struct.

However, dcbz instruction is buggy and doesn't update DAR register on
fault. That is detected and generates a call to FixupDAR workaround
which updates DAR copy in thread struct but doesn't fix DAR register.

Let's fix DAR in addition to the update of DAR copy in thread struct.
