[PATCH] Fix sparse parse error in lppaca.h



sparse can't parse a struct definition in include/asm-powerpc/lppaca.h,
even though gcc can accept it.  The form looks like this:

        struct __attribute__((whatever)) foo { };

An equivalent that both gcc and sparse can handle is

        struct foo { } __attribute__((whatever));

This is the only definition of this type in the tree, and fixing it is
easier than fixing sparse.

[ Side note: fixing sparse wouldn't be hard, but the "attribute at the
  end" version is the canonical one, and the one that makes sense. So
  let's just fix the kernel instead. Luc Van Oostenryck already sent
  out a sparse patch to the sparse mailing list in case anybody cares.
