Public bug reported:

    commit 8f9c0119d7ba (compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile
    implementation) changed the PowerPC 64bit sendfile call from
    sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.
    
    Unfortunately this broke sendfile of lengths greater than 2G because
    sys_sendfile caps at MAX_NON_LFS. Restore what we had previously which
    fixes the bug.
