s390x/tcg: Don't ignore content in r0 when not specified via "b" or "x"
Using get_address() with register identifiers comming from an "r" field is wrong: if the "r" field designates "r0", we don't read the content and instead assume 0 - which should only be applied when the register was specified via "b" or "x". PoP 5-11 "Operand-Address Generation": "A zero in any of the B1, B2, X2, B3, or B4 fields indicates the absence of the corresponding address component. For the absent component, a zero is used in forming the intermediate sum, regardless of the contents of general register 0. A displacement of zero has no special significance." This BUG became visible for CSPG as generated by LLVM-12 in the upstream Linux kernel (v5.11-rc2), used while creating the linear mapping in vmem_map_init(): Trying to store to address 0 results in a Low Address Protection exception. Debugging this was more complicated than it could have been: The program interrupt handler in the kernel will try to crash the kernel: doing so, it will enable DAT. As the linear mapping is not created yet (asce=0), we run into an addressing exception while tring to walk non-existant DAT tables, resulting in a program exception loop. This allows for booting upstream Linux kernels compiled by clang-12. Most of these cases seem to be broken forever.
