edac: mpc85xx mask ecc syndrome correctly



With a 64-bit wide data bus only the lowest 8-bits of the ECC syndrome are
relevant.  With a 32-bit wide data bus only the lowest 16-bits are
relevant on most architectures.

Without this change, the ECC syndrome displayed can be mildly confusing,
eg:

  EDAC MPC85xx MC1: syndrome: 0x25252525

When in reality the ECC syndrome is 0x25.

A variety of Freescale manuals say a variety of different things about how
to decode the CAPTURE_ECC (syndrome) register.  I don't have a system with
a 32-bit bus to test on, but I believe the change is correct.  It'd be
good to get an ACK from someone at Freescale about this change though.
