[POWERPC] Fix si_addr value on low level hash failures
If the low level MMU hash table insertion returns an error (which can happen in some rare circumstances when the hypervisor refuses the insertion of a PTE, typically if you try to access junk via /dev/mem), the generated signal had an incorrect si_addr value due to a bug in the assembly, which was loading it as a 32 bits quantity instead of a 64 bits quantity.
