[RFC PATCH 07/11] powerpc/tm: Do not recheckpoint at sigreturn

[Breno Leitao]

Do not recheckpoint at signal code return. Just make sure TIF_RESTORE_TM is
set, which will restore on the exit to userspace by restore_tm_state.

All the FP and VEC lazy restore was already done by tm_reclaim_current(),
where it checked if FP/VEC was set, and filled out the ckfp and ckvr
registers area to the expected value.

The current FP/VEC restoration is not necessary, since the transaction will
be aborted and the checkpointed values will be restore.
