Currently if you build a 32-bit powerpc kernel and use get_user() to
load a u64 value it will fail to build with eg:

  kernel/rseq.o: In function `rseq_get_rseq_cs':
  kernel/rseq.c:123: undefined reference to `__get_user_bad'

This is hitting the check in __get_user_size() that makes sure the
size we're copying doesn't exceed the size of the destination:

  #define __get_user_size(x, ptr, size, retval)
  do {
        retval = 0;
        __chk_user_ptr(ptr);
        if (size > sizeof(x))
                (x) = __get_user_bad();

Which doesn't immediately make sense because the size of the
destination is u64, but it's not really, because __get_user_check()
etc. internally create an unsigned long and copy into that:

  #define __get_user_check(x, ptr, size)
  ({
        long __gu_err = -EFAULT;
        unsigned long  __gu_val = 0;

The problem being that on 32-bit unsigned long is not big enough to
hold a u64. We can fix this with a trick from hpa in the x86 code, we
statically check the type of x and set the type of __gu_val to either
unsigned long or unsigned long long.
