[PATCH] powerpc: Fix check for copy/paste instructions in alignment handler

Commit 07d2a628bc00 ("powerpc/64s: Avoid cpabort in context switch
when possible", 2017-06-09) changed the definition of PPC_INST_COPY
and in so doing inadvertently broke the check for copy/paste
instructions in the alignment fault handler.  The check currently
matches no instructions.

This fixes it by ANDing both sides of the comparison with the mask.

Should go to 4.13 stable as well, and will probably apply there
with fuzz.
