[PATCH] spufs: change ppc_rtas declaration to weak

The symbol ppc_rtas is defined as weak, but the declaration is missing the
weak attribute specifier.  The improper declaration causes problems when
linking the ppc_rtas reference in spu_syscall_table[] (spu_callbacks.c)
when RTAS support is not enabled.

Fixes this powerpc build error with CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, CONFIG_PPC_RTAS=n:

 arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o: undefined reference to `ppc_rtas'

I did a test build with pseries_defconfig and verified the proper routine is
linked in.  No run time test done.
