[PATCH 2/3] arch/powerpc: use __page_aligned_bss

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

The patch "make page-aligned data and bss less fragile" introduces
__page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss to make sure that page
aligned things remain so, even if there are non-page-sized
page-aligned things.

This paragraph converts an instance of an explicit section attribute
to __page_aligned_data.  It's purely decorative.

(It should be noted that powerpc already defines __page_aligned to
have the same meaning as __page_aligned_data in non-MODULE code.  Also
this particular case looks like it could be __page_aligned_bss rather
than data, but I didn't want to change the meaning of the code.)
