[V2 PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Enable emulate_step In Little Endian Mode

[Tom <tommusta@gmail.com>]

From: Tom Musta <tommusta@gmail.com>

This patch modifies the endian chicken switch in the single step
emulation code (emulate_step()).  The old (big endian) code bailed
early if a load or store instruction was to be emulated in little
endian mode.

The new code modifies the check and only bails in a cross-endian
situation (LE mode in a kernel compiled for BE and vice verse).

V2: fixed bug in MSR[LE] check identified by Andreas Schwab and
Geert Uytterhoeven.
