selftests/powerpc: Add test for DSCR value inheritence across fork

This patch adds a test to verify that the changed DSCR value inside any
process would be inherited to it's child process across the fork system
call.

/*
* POWER Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) fork test
*
* This testcase modifies the DSCR using mtspr, forks and then
* verifies that the child process has the correct changed DSCR
* value using mfspr.
*
* When using the privilege state SPR, the instructions such as
* mfspr or mtspr are priviledged and the kernel emulates them
* for us. Instructions using problem state SPR can be exuecuted
* directly without any emulation if the HW supports them. Else
* they also get emulated by the kernel.
