[PATCH] powerpc/signal32: Use struct_group() to zero spe regs

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Add a struct_group() for the spe registers so that memset() can correctly reason
about the size:

   In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
       inlined from 'restore_user_regs.part.0' at arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c:539:3:
   >> include/linux/fortify-string.h:195:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
     195 |    __write_overflow_field();
         |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
