selftests/powerpc: Fix TM resched DSCR test with some compilers
[ Upstream commit fe06fe860250a4f01d0eaf70a2563b1997174a74 ]
The tm-resched-dscr test has started failing sometimes, depending on
what compiler it's built with, eg:
test: tm_resched_dscr
Check DSCR TM context switch: tm-resched-dscr: tm-resched-dscr.c:76: test_body: Assertion `rv' failed.
!! child died by signal 6
When it fails we see that the compiler doesn't initialise rv to 1 before
entering the inline asm block. Although that's counter intuitive, it
is allowed because we tell the compiler that the inline asm will write
to rv (using "=r"), meaning the original value is irrelevant.
Marking it as a read/write parameter would presumably work, but it seems
simpler to fix it by setting the initial value of rv in the inline asm.
Fixes: 96d016108640 ("powerpc: Correct DSCR during TM context switch")
