powerpc/modules: Don't try to restore r2 after a sibling call
[ Upstream commit b9eab08d012fa093947b230f9a87257c27fb829b ]
When attempting to load a livepatch module, I got the following error:
module_64: patch_module: Expect noop after relocate, got 3c820000
The error was triggered by the following code in
unregister_netdevice_queue():
14c: 00 00 00 48 b 14c <unregister_netdevice_queue+0x14c>
14c: R_PPC64_REL24 net_set_todo
150: 00 00 82 3c addis r4,r2,0
GCC didn't insert a nop after the branch to net_set_todo() because it's
a sibling call, so it never returns. The nop isn't needed after the
branch in that case.
