When using -linkshared, the external linker on ppc64x cannot
always handle the direct branch to syscall.Syscall and similar
similar functions when the offset is too far. Instead it should
be done as a BL which can then be called through a procedure
linkage table entry.
This change removes functions Syscall, Syscall6,
RawSyscall, RawSyscall6 from asm_linux_ppc64x.s and instead
creates Go functions which call their corresponding
functions in the syscall package. As Go functions, they can be
inlined with the help of CL 147361.

If a system has the ability to disable some cores, as on
ppc64 with the ppc64_cpu command, then TestSchedSetaffinity will
fail if the CPUset passed to Setaffinity includes one that has
been disabled.
This adds a check to use values from the oldMask, which are the valid
cores returned from Getaffinity, to pass to Setaffinity.
