This patch copies the the missing VSX regset to the compat_regsets
array.

Not having this regset can cause issues in fs/binfmt_elf.c in the
fill_thread_core_info function, which iterates over all the regsets
defined in compat_regsets to fill note info for a core dump of a
32-bit thread. However, the number of regset notes allocated for
writing is the number of regsets with core_note_type != 0. If the
regset array has an entry with core_note_type == 0, which is the case
for the missing VSX element, this can cause later regsets to be
written outside the bounds of the allocated notes.

The compat_regset is also missing entries for REGSET_PMR and
REGSET_PKEY, but because these are at the end of the powerpc_regset
enum, the designated initializers for the compat_regset array don't
cause implicit elements to be created, like they did for REGSET_VSX.
