[PATCH V3] powerpc: add little endian flag to syscall_get_arch()

Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC*LE
variants.

Without this,  perf trace and auditctl fail.

Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.

Since 32-bit PPC LE is not supported, throw a compiler error rather than return
a bogus architecture to audit.

See:
	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2014-August/msg00082.html
	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2014-December/msg00004.html

v2 -> v3:
	Throw a compiler error on 32-bit LE.

v1 -> v2:
	Added ";" at the end of the #ifdef-protected line so it actually compiles
