setup_frame()/setup_rt_frame()/restore_user_regs() are using
MSR_LE as the similar kernel functions do: as a bitmask.
But in QEMU, MSR_LE is a bit position, so change this
accordingly.
The previous code was doing nothing as MSR_LE is 0,
and "env->msr &= ~MSR_LE" doesn't change the value of msr.
And yes, a user process can change its endianness,
