[PATCH] powerpc: Enabling sys_kcmp for CRIU

[Laurent Dufour]

The commit 8170a83f15ee ("powerpc: Wireup the kcmp syscall to sys_ni") has
disabled the kcmp syscall for powerpc.  This has been done due to the use
of unsigned long parameters which may require a dedicated wrapper to handle
32bit process on top of 64bit kernel.  However in the kcmp() case, the 2
unsigned long parameters are currently only used to carry file descriptors
from user space to the kernel.  Since such a parameter is passed through
register, and file descriptor doesn't need to get extended, there is,
today, no need for a wrapper.

In the case there will be a need to pass address in or out of this system
call, then a wrapper could be required, it will then be to care of it.

As today this is not the case, it is safe to enable kcmp() on powerpc.
