[ Upstream commit 113ec9ccc8049c3772f0eab46b62c5d6654c09f7 ]
Copied from commit 89bbe4c798bc ("powerpc/64: indirect function call
use bctrl rather than blrl in ret_from_kernel_thread")
blrl is not recommended to use as an indirect function call, as it may
corrupt the link stack predictor.
This is not a performance critical path but this should be fixed for
consistency.
