Nicholas Piggin 9145effd62 powerpc/64: Drop explicit hwsync in context switch 
The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch
code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of
a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not
required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context
switch path.

Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler
or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch.

This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.
