microblaze: Remove r0_ram pointer and PTO alignment

r0_ram pool was used for saving/restoring register
content if hw exception happen. This poll was replaced by
pt_pool_space with PT_SIZE size.
Based on this change SAVE_STATE_ARG_SPACE was removed which
caused that PTO offset is zero that's why is also removed.

r0_ram space was used as scratchpad by v850. In early
Microblaze Linux developing phase was this part of code
blindly copied.
