powerpc: Add __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ to asm/types.h for LL64

Browse source 
PPC64 uses long long for u64 in the kernel, but powerpc's asm/types.h
prevents 64-bit userland from seeing this definition, instead defaulting
to u64 == long in userspace.  Some user programs (e.g. kvmtool) may actually
want LL64, so this patch adds a check for __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ so that,
if defined, int-ll64.h is included instead.

* This is here because we used to use l64 for 64bit powerpc
* and we don't want to impact user mode with our change to ll64
* in the kernel.
*
* However, some user programs are fine with this. They can
* flag __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ to get int-ll64.h here.
