Subject: [PATCH 3.18 030/150] powerpc: add little endian flag to syscall_get_arch()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@...hat.com>

commit 63f13448d81c910a284b096149411a719cbed501 upstream.

Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE
variant.

Without this,  perf trace and auditctl fail.

Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.

Since 32-bit PPC LE is not supported by audit, don't advertise it in
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC* variants.
