powerpc/64s/exception: optimise system_reset for idle, clean up non-idle case

The idle wake up code in the system reset interrupt is not very
optimal. There are two requirements: perform idle wake up quickly;
and save everything including CFAR for non-idle interrupts, with
no performance requirement.

The problem with placing the idle test in the middle of the handler
and using the normal handler code to save CFAR, is that it's quite
costly (e.g., mfcfar is serialising, speculative workarounds get
applied, SRR1 has to be reloaded, etc). It also prevents the standard
interrupt handler boilerplate being used.

This pain can be avoided by using a dedicated idle interrupt handler
at the start of the interrupt handler, which restores all registers
back to the way they were in case it was not an idle wake up. CFAR
is preserved without saving it before the non-idle case by making that
the fall-through, and idle is a taken branch.

Performance seems to be in the noise, but possibly around 0.5% faster,
the executed instructions certainly look better. The bigger benefit is
being able to drop in standard interrupt handlers after the idle code,
which helps with subsequent cleanup and consolidation.
