[PATCH 8/8] powerpc: copy_thread don't set ppr in user interrupt frame regs

syscalls do not set the PPR field in their interrupt frame and return
from syscall always sets the default PPR for userspace, so setting the
value in the ret_from_fork frame is not necessary and mildly
inconsistent. Remove it.
