Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pass the correct trap argument to kvmhv_commence_exit

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <[email protected]>

commit 7e022e717f54897e396504306d0c9b61452adf4e upstream.

In guest_exit_cont we call kvmhv_commence_exit which expects the trap number as the argument. However r3 doesn't contain the trap number at this point and as a result we would be calling the function with a spurious trap number.

Fix this by copying r12 into r3 before calling kvmhv_commence_exit as r12 contains the trap number.
