powerpc: Partial revert of "Context switch more PMU related SPRs"
In commit 59affcd I added context switching of more PMU SPRs, because they are potentially exposed to userspace on Power8. However despite me being a smart arse in the commit message it's actually not correct. In particular it interacts badly with a global perf record. We will have to do something more complicated, but that will have to wait for 3.11.
