[1/4] powerpc: Replace brk.S with a C implementation

From: Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho <tuliom@linux.ibm.com>

There is no need to maintain a separate assembly implementation of brk for
powerpc.  It basically does the same thing as the generic C-based version, so we
can reuse that instead.

LGTM.  You also might want to check my brk consolidation [1], it
consolidate not only powerpc, but all implementations.

This is not true, you are not adding any aliases.

I think it's worth dropping this patch in favor of yours, Adhemerval.
