[PATCH] powerpc: Add ppc_inst_as_u64()

The code patching code wants to get the value of a struct ppc_inst as
a u64 when the instruction is prefixed, so we can pass the u64 down to
__put_user_asm() and write it with a single store.

This is a bit awkward because the value differs based on the CPU
endianness, so add a helper to do the conversion.
