PPC gdbstub code has two possible swaps of the 64-bit elements of AVR
registers: in gdb_get_avr_reg/gdb_set_avr_reg (based on msr_le) and in
gdb_get_reg128/ldq_p (based on TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN).

In softmmu, only the first is done, because TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN is
always true. In user mode, both are being done, resulting in swapped
high and low doublewords of AVR registers in little-endian binaries.

We fix this by moving the first swap to ppc_maybe_bswap_register, which
already handles the endianness swap of each element's value in softmmu
and does nothing in user mode.

Based-on: <20210826141446.2488609-1-matheus.ferst@eldorado.org.br>

Applied to ppc-for-6.2, thanks.
