powerpc/tm: Abort on emulation and alignment faults

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context.  We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.

We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.

This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now).  If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure.  This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.
