compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation

Browse source 
This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
directly and avoids set_fs().

The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion.

compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.

On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.
