3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
commit 3df48c981d5a9610e02e9270b1bc4274fb536710 upstream.
In commit 330a1eb "Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s" I messed up clear_task_ebb(). It clears some but not all of the task's Event Based Branch (EBB) registers when we duplicate a task struct.
That allows a child task to observe the EBBHR & EBBRR of its parent, which it should not be able to do.
Fix it by clearing EBBHR & EBBRR.
