[PATCH 3.16 153/366] powerpc/e500mc: Set assembler machine type to e500mc

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Jeanson <redacted>

commit 69a8405999aa1c489de4b8d349468f0c2b83f093 upstream.

In binutils 2.26 a new opcode for the "wait" instruction was added for the
POWER9 and has precedence over the one specific to the e500mc. Commit
ebf714ff3756 ("powerpc/e500mc: Add support for the wait instruction in
e500_idle") uses this instruction specifically on the e500mc to work around
an erratum.

This results in an invalid instruction in idle_e500 when we build for the
e500mc on bintutils >= 2.26 with the default assembler machine type.

Since multiplatform between e500 and non-e500 is not supported, set the
assembler machine type globaly when CONFIG_PPC_E500MC=y.
