powerpc: Fix parameter clobber in csum_partial_copy_generic()
commit d9813c3681a36774b254c0cdc9cce53c9e22c756 upstream. The csum_partial_copy_generic() uses register r7 to adjust the remaining bytes to process. Unfortunately, r7 also holds a parameter, namely the address of the flag to set in case of access exceptions while reading the source buffer. Lacking a quantum implementation of PowerPC, this commit instead uses register r9 to do the adjusting, leaving r7's pointer uncorrupted. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
