[POWERPC] Avoid hypervisor statistics calculation in real mode
kexec invokes plpar_hcall hypervisor call in real mode. plpar_hcall
refers to per cpu variables for accounting hypervisor statistics.
These variables may not be in the RMO region, so accesses to them
in real mode may result in a data storage exception.
This fixes this problem by using a new plpar_hcall_raw function which
does not update the hypervisor call statistics. Thanks to Anton for
suggesting this idea.
