KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register state

When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress,
we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state.  Although
XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that
does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER.

This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER.  To allow userspace
to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG
specifier.

The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER
value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

Fixes: 81380b83c8bf ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add transactional memory support")
Fixes: e74efa767262 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add missing code for transaction reclaim on guest exit")
