powerpc/lib: fix unsafe register handling in wait_ticks
If watchdog is enabled, the arch/powerpc/lib/ticks.S::wait_ticks() function
calls the function specified by the WATCHDOG_RESET macro.
The wait_ticks function depends on the registers r0, r6 and r7 being
preserved however that is not guaranteed, e.g. if the reset function is a
C function this will probably overwrite r0 and cause an endless loop.
The following patch changes to using r14+r15 instead of r6+r7 (to resemble
what would have been generated by a C compiler) and saves all necessary
registers on the stack.
The patch has been tested on a custom MPC5125 based machine using the 512x
powerpc architecture.
