Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/fsl: Fix the flush of branch predictor.

The commit identified below adds MC_BTB_FLUSH macro only when
CONFIG_PPC_FSL_BOOK3E is defined. This results in the following error
on some configs (seen several times with kisskb randconfig_defconfig)

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64e.S:576: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mc_btb_flush'
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:367: arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64e.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:492: arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1043: arch/powerpc] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:152: sub-make] Error 2

This patch adds a blank definition of MC_BTB_FLUSH for other cases.

This seems correct to me:

- MC_BTB_FLUSH gets a definition in the CONFIG_PPC_FSL_BOOK3E case.

- other things that are defined in the FSL_BOOK3E case get empty
definitions in the #else branch, but MC_BTB_FLUSH doesn't.

- this patch just adds that empty definition.

- there are no other definitions of MC_BTB_FLUSH that should be used
instead.
