[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 3/4] powerpc: Remove direct call to personality syscall handler

From: Rohan McLure <rmclure@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4df0221f9ded8c39aecfb1a80cef346026671cb7 ]

Syscall handlers should not be invoked internally by their symbol names,
as these symbols defined by the architecture-defined SYSCALL_DEFINE
macro. Fortunately, in the case of ppc64_personality, its call to
sys_personality can be replaced with an invocation to the
equivalent ksys_personality inline helper in <linux/syscalls.h>.
