powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncate

The truncate syscall has a signed long parameter, so when using a 32-
bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel the argument is zero-extended
instead of sign-extended. Adding the compat_sys_truncate function
fixes the issue.

This was noticed during an LSB truncate test failure. The test was
checking for the correct error number set when truncate is called with
a length of -1. The test can be found at:

BenH: Added compat_sys_ftruncate() as well, same issue.
