Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC*LE
variants.

Without this,  perf trace and auditctl fail.

Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.
There's no seccomp filter support for powerpc, so there's no risk that
this breaks it.
