[PATCH] target/ppc: use MAKE_64BIT_MASK for mcrfs exception clear mask

[PATCH] target/ppc: use MAKE_64BIT_MASK for mcrfs exception clear mask

[Denis Sergeev]

In gen_mcrfs() the FPSCR nibble mask is computed as:
      `~((0xF << shift) & FP_EX_CLEAR_BITS)`

Here, 0xF is of type int, so the left shift is performed in
32-bit signed arithmetic. For bfa=0 we get shift=28,
and (0xF << 28) = 0xF0000000, which is not representable as a 32-bit
signed int. Static analyzers flag this as a potential integer
overflow.
