[COMMITTED] [PATCH] powerpc: Fix encoding of POWER8 instruction

This patch adds a binary encoding for 'mtvsrd' instruction to avoid
build failures when assembler does not support POWER8.

Checked on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.

--

	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power8/memset.S (MTVSRD_V1_R4): Encode
	mtvsrd instruction in binary form.
