powerpc: Fix syscalls during early process initialization [BZ #22685]
The tunables framework needs to execute syscall early in process
initialization, before the TCB is available for consumption.  This
behavior conflicts with powerpc{|64|64le}'s lock elision code, that
checks the TCB before trying to abort transactions immediately before
executing a syscall.

This patch adds a powerpc-specific implementation of __access_noerrno
that does not abort transactions before the executing syscall.

Tested on powerpc{|64|64le}.

	[BZ #22685]
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/sysdep.h (ABORT_TRANSACTION_IMPL): Renamed
	from ABORT_TRANSACTION.
	(ABORT_TRANSACTION): Redirect to ABORT_TRANSACTION_IMPL.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/sysdep.h (ABORT_TRANSACTION,
	ABORT_TRANSACTION_IMPL): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/not-errno.h: New file.  Reuse
	Linux code, but remove the code that aborts transactions.
