[PATCH v3 1/1] target/ppc: don't byte swap ELFv2 signal handler

[Vincent Fazio <vfazio@xes-inc.com>]

From: Vincent Fazio <vfazio@gmail.com>

Previously, the signal handler would be byte swapped if the target and
host CPU used different endianness. This would cause a SIGSEGV when
attempting to translate the opcode pointed to by the swapped address.

 Thread 1 "qemu-ppc64" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

 351        __builtin_memcpy(&r, ptr, sizeof(r));

The signal handler will be byte swapped as a result of the __get_user()
call in sigaction() if it is necessary, no additional swap is required.

Changes since v2:
- Explain why the swap is not necessary

Changes since v1:
- Drop host/target endianness callouts
- Drop unnecessary pointer cast
- Clarify commit message
