setup_frame()/setup_rt_frame()/restore_user_regs() are using
MSR_LE as the similar kernel functions do: as a bitmask.

But in QEMU, MSR_LE is a bit position, so change this
accordingly.

The previous code was doing nothing as MSR_LE is 0,
and "env->msr &= ~MSR_LE" doesn't change the value of msr.

And yes, a user process can change its endianness,
see linux kernel commit:

    fab5db9 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl

and prctl(2): PR_SET_ENDIAN, PR_GET_ENDIAN
