linux-user: ppc64: use the correct values for F_*LK64s

Qemu includes the glibc headers for the host defines and target headers are
part of the qemu source themselves. The glibc has the F_GETLK64, F_SETLK64
and F_SETLKW64 defined to 12, 13 and 14 for all archs in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/fcntl-linux.h. The linux kernel generic
definition for F_*LK is 5, 6 & 7 and F_*LK64* is 12,13, and 14 as seen in
include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. On 64bit machine, by default the kernel
assumes all F_*LK to 64bit calls and doesnt support use of F_*LK64* as
can be seen in include/linux/fcntl.h in linux source.

On x86_64 host, the values for F_*LK64* are set to 5, 6 and 7
explicitly in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/fcntl.h by the glibc.
Whereas, a PPC64 host doesn't have such a definition in
/usr/include/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/bits/fcntl.h by the glibc. So,
the sources on PPC64 host sees the default value of F_*LK64*
as 12, 13 & 14(fcntl-linux.h).

Since the 64bit kernel doesnt support 12, 13 & 14; the glibc fcntl syscall
implementation(__libc_fcntl*(), __fcntl64_nocancel) does the F_*LK64* value
convertion back to F_*LK* values on PPC64 as seen in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/sysdep.h with FCNTL_ADJUST_CMD()
macro. Whereas on x86_64 host the values for F_*LK64* are set to 5, 6 and 7
and no adjustments are needed.

Since qemu doesnt use the glibc fcntl, but makes the safe_syscall* on its
own, the PPC64 qemu is calling the syscall with 12, 13, and 14(without
adjustment) and they all fail. The fcntl calls to F_GETLK/F_SETLK|W all
fail by all pplications run on PPC64 host user emulation.

The fix here could be to see why on PPC64 the glibc is still keeping
F_*LK64* different from F_*LK and why adjusting them to 5, 6 and 7 before
the syscall for PPC only. See if we can make the
/usr/include/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/bits/fcntl.h to have the values
5, 6 & 7 just like x86_64 and remove the adjustment code in glibc. That
way, qemu sources see the kernel supported values in glibc headers.

OR

On PPC64 host, qemu sources see both F_*LK & F_*LK64* as same and set to
12, 13 and 14 because __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 is defined in qemu
sources(also refer sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/fcntl-linux.h).
Do the value adjustment just like it is done by glibc source by using
F_GETLK value of 5. That way, we make the syscalls with the actual
supported values in Qemu. The patch is taking this approach.
