powerpc: Don't corrupt user registers on 32-bit

Commit de79f7b9f6 ("powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures")
modified load_up_fpu() and load_up_altivec() in such a way that they
now use r7 and r8.  Unfortunately, the callers of these functions on
32-bit machines then return to userspace via fast_exception_return,
which doesn't restore all of the volatile GPRs, but only r1, r3 -- r6
and r9 -- r12.  This was causing userspace segfaults and other
userspace misbehaviour on 32-bit machines.

This fixes the problem by changing the register usage of load_up_fpu()
and load_up_altivec() to avoid using r7 and r8 and instead use r6 and
r10.  This also adds comments to those functions saying which registers
may be used.
