[ Upstream commit a994eddb947ea9ebb7b14d9a1267001699f0a136 ]
Currently psw_idle does not allocate a stack frame and does not save its r14 and r15 into the save area. Even though this is valid from call ABI point of view, because psw_idle does not make any calls explicitly, in reality psw_idle is an entry point for controlled transition into serving interrupts. So, in practice, psw_idle stack frame is analyzed during stack unwinding. Depending on build options that r14 slot in the save area of psw_idle might either contain a value saved by previous sibling call or complete garbage.

So, to make a stacktrace nicer and actually point for the real caller of psw_idle in this frequently occurring case, make psw_idle save its r14.
