Use SPRN_SPRG2 to store the current thread PGDIR and
avoid reading thread_struct.pgdir at every TLB miss.

This patch causes a number of silent (no crash) qemu boot stalls
in -next. See
https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-ppc-next/builds/1080/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio
for an example.

Oops.
Could you try the fix below ?

Yes, that does the trick. With this patch applied on top of next-20190306,
all my ppc qemu boot tests pass.

Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

Thanks for testing.

I'll send a proper patch tomorrow morning, sorry for that.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to revert the patch due to subsequent
patches, so I was unable to test a revert.

Bisect log is attached.
