    powerpc/64s: fix program check interrupt emergency stack path

    Emergency stack path was jumping into a 3: label inside the
    __GEN_COMMON_BODY macro for the normal path after it had finished,
    rather than jumping over it. By a small miracle this is the correct
    place to build up a new interrupt frame with the existing stack
    pointer, so things basically worked okay with an added weird looking
    700 trap frame on top (which had the wrong ->nip so it didn't decode
    bug messages either).

    Fix this by avoiding using numeric labels when jumping over non-trivial
    macros.
