[PATCH] powerpc/ps3_defconfig: Disable PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2

Commit 8c5fa3b5c4df3d071dab42b04b971df370d99354 (powerpc/64: Make ELFv2 the
default for big-endian builds), merged in Linux-6.5-rc1 changes the calling ABI
in a way that is incompatible with the current code for the PS3's LV1 hypervisor
calls.

This change just adds the line '# CONFIG_PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2 is not set'
to the ps3_defconfig file so that the PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1 is used.

Fixes run time errors like these:

	BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000000
	Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000047cf0
	Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

	Call Trace:
	[c0000000023039e0] [c00000000100ebfc] ps3_create_spu+0xc4/0x2b0 (unreliable)
	[c000000002303ab0] [c00000000100d4c4] create_spu+0xcc/0x3c4
	[c000000002303b40] [c00000000100eae4] ps3_enumerate_spus+0xa4/0xf8
