powerpc/Makefile: Default to ppc64le_defconfig when cross building

If the kernel is being cross compiled, there is no information from
uname on which defconfig is most appropriate, so the Makefile defaults
to ppc64.

However these days almost all distros that support powerpc are little
endian, so it's more likely that defaulting to ppc64le_defconfig will
produce something useful for a user.
