[RFC,v2,10/18] livepatch/powerpc: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag

Add the TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag to enable the new livepatch
per-task consistency model for powerpc.  The bit getting set indicates
the thread has a pending patch which needs to be applied when the thread
exits the kernel.

The bit is included in the _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK macro so that
do_notify_resume() and klp_patch_task() get called when the bit is set.

JFYI, if we later add the fake signal to speed up migration of
sleeping task, we would need to move this up before calling
do_signal(). It would help to avoid cycling here twice.
Mirek surely knows more details about it.

Yes, that is true if we go with a fake signal implementation we have in 
kGraft. Nevertheless it is the issue of that patch so let's discuss that 
there (when I send it).
