[POWERPC] Fix uninitialized variable bug in copy_{to|from}_user

Browse Source 
Calls to copy_to_user() or copy_from_user() can fail when copying N
bytes, where N is a constant less than 8, but not 1, 2, 4, or 8,
because 'ret' is not initialized and is only set if the size is 1,
2, 4 or 8, but is tested after the switch statement for any constant
size <= 8.  This fixes it by initializing 'ret' to 1, causing the
code to fall through to the __copy_tofrom_user call for sizes other
than 1, 2, 4 or 8.
