Michael Ellerman 29dbb98449 powerpc/64s: Remove the "fast endian switch" syscall ...

The non-standard "fast endian switch" syscall was added in 2008[1],
but was never widely used. It was disabled by default in 2017[2], and
there's no evidence it's ever been used since.

Remove it entirely.

A normal endian switch syscall was added in 2015[3].
