When a transaction is aborted, VSR values should rollback to the
checkpointed values before the transaction began. VSRs used elsewhere in
the kernel during a transaction, or while the transaction is suspended
should not affect the checkpointed values.
Prior to the bug fix in commit d31626f70b ("powerpc: Don't corrupt
transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel") when VMX was requested
by the kernel the .vr_state (which held the checkpointed state of VSRs
before the transaction) was overwritten with the current state from
outside the transation. Thus if the transaction did not complete, the
VSR values would be "rolled back" to potentially incorrect values.

Test the kernels signal generation code to ensure it can handle an
invalid stack pointer when transactional.

Test the kernel's signal return code to ensure that it doesn't crash
when both the transactional and suspend MSR bits are set in the signal
context.

Check that a syscall made during an active transaction will fail with
the correct failure code and that one made during a suspended
transaction will succeed.

This patch includes all of the powerpc test binaries into the .gitignore
file listing in their respective directories. This will make sure that
git ignores all of these test binaries when displaying status.
