Commit e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint")
moved a code block around and this block uses a 'msr' variable outside of
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM, however the 'msr' variable is declared
inside a CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, causing a possible error when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTION_MEM is not defined.

	error: 'msr' undeclared (first use in this function)

This is not causing a compilation error in the mainline kernel, because
'msr' is being used as an argument of MSR_TM_ACTIVE(), which is defined as
the following when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is *not* set:

	#define MSR_TM_ACTIVE(x) 0

This patch just fixes this issue avoiding the 'msr' variable usage outside
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, avoiding trusting in the
MSR_TM_ACTIVE() definition.

NB: Since stable kernels didn't cherry picked 5c784c8414fba ('powerpc/tm:
Remove msr_tm_active()), MSR_TM_ACTIVE() is not defined as 0 for
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n case, thus triggering the compilation error
above.

Tested against stable kernel 4.19.13-rc2 and problem is now fixed when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n

I understand that the commit that this patch fixes is not integrated into
stable tree.

I think it does not need to make stable at this moment, thus.

Thanks,

The commit it fixes (e1c3743e1a20) exists in all 4.9+ stable trees as it
itself was tagged for stable.
