[RFC PATCH 3/5] powerpc: Fix pmu get/set functions

The PMU regset exposed through ptrace has 5 64-bit words, which are
all copied in and out. However, mmcr0 in the thread_struct is an
unsigned, which causes pmu_set to clobber the next variable in the
thread_struct (used_ebb), and pmu_get to return the same variable in
one half of the mmcr0 slot.
