s390/boot: Add exception table support

The early boot code contains various open-coded inline assemblies with
exception handling. In order to handle possible exceptions each of them
changes the program check new psw, and restores it.

In order to simplify the various inline assemblies add simple exception
table support: the program check handler is called with a fully populated
pt_regs on the stack and may change the psw and register members. When the
program check handler returns the psw and registers from pt_regs will be
used to continue execution.

The program check handler searches the exception table for an entry which
matches the address of the program check. If such an entry is found the psw
address within pt_regs on the stack is replaced with a fixup address, and
execution continues at the new address.

If no entry is found the psw is changed to a disabled wait psw and
execution stops.

Before entering the C part of the program check handler the address of the
program check new psw is replaced to a minimalistic handler.
This is supposed to help against program check loops. If an exception
happens while in program check processing the register contents of the
original exception are restored and a disabled wait psw is loaded.
