powerpc: Fix kernel thread creation on ABIv2
Change how we setup registers for ret_from_kernel_thread. In ABIv1, instead of passing a function descriptor in, dereference it and pass the target in directly. Use ppc_global_function_entry to get it right on both ABIv1 and ABIv2. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
