linux-user: ppc64: don't use volatile register during safe_syscall 

r11 is a volatile register on PPC as per calling conventions.
The safe_syscall code uses it to check if the signal_pending
is set during the safe_syscall. When a syscall is interrupted
on return from signal handling, the r11 might be corrupted
before we retry the syscall leading to a crash. The registers
r0-r13 are not to be used here as they have
volatile/designated/reserved usages.

Change the code to use r14 which is non-volatile.
Use SP+16 which is a slot for LR, for save/restore of previous value
of r14. SP+16 can be used, as LR is preserved across the syscall.

Steps to reproduce:
On PPC host, issue `qemu-x86_64 /usr/bin/cc -E -`
Attempt Ctrl-C, the issue is reproduced.
