powerpc/64s: Don't unbalance the return branch predictor in __replay_interrupt()

The __replay_interrupt() code is branched to with bl, but the caller is
returned to directly with rfid from the interrupt.

Instead, rfid to a stub that returns to the caller with blr, which
should keep the return branch predictor balanced.
