ppc64 use bit 62 to indicate a pte entry (_PAGE_PTE). Avoid setting that bit in
random value.

Please drop the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 here. We already accommodate skip
bits for a s390 platform requirement and can also do so for ppc64 as well. As
mentioned before, please avoid adding any platform specific constructs in the
test.

Please fix the alignments here. Feel free to consider following changes after
this patch.
