powerpc: Don't try to copy PPR for task with NULL pt_regs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc: Don't try to copy PPR for task with NULL pt_regs
powerpc sets up PF_KTHREAD and PF_IO_WORKER with a NULL pt_regs, which
from my (arguably very short) checking is not commonly done for other
archs. This is fine, except when PF_IO_WORKER's have been created and
the task does something that causes a coredump to be generated. Then we
get this crash:

Because ppr_get() is trying to copy from a PF_IO_WORKER with a NULL
pt_regs.
Check for a valid pt_regs in both ppc_get/ppr_set, and return an error
if not set. The actual error value doesn't seem to be important here, so
just pick -EINVAL.
