[PATCH v2 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.
