[PATCH v6 08/25] powerpc: Fix fallocate and fadvise64_64 compat parameter combination

As reported[1] by Arnd, the arch-specific fadvise64_64 and fallocate
compatibility handlers assume parameters are passed with 32-bit
big-endian ABI. This affects the assignment of odd-even parameter pairs
to the high or low words of a 64-bit syscall parameter.

Fix fadvise64_64 fallocate compat handlers to correctly swap upper/lower
32 bits conditioned on endianness.

A future patch will replace the arch-specific compat fallocate with an
asm-generic implementation. This patch is intended for ease of
back-port.
