powerpc/kgdb: Restore current_thread_info properly
For powerpc BooKE and e200, singlestep is handled on the critical/dbg exception stack. This causes current_thread_info() to fail for kgdb internal, so previously We work around this issue by copying the thread_info from the kernel stack before calling kgdb_handle_exception, and copying it back afterwards. But actually we don't do this properly. We should backup current_thread_info then restore that when exit.
