    sim/ppc: fix for operator precedence warning from clang
    
    In the ppc simulator, clang was warning about some code like this:
    
      busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = 1 + (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P(out_vmask)) ? 1 : 2;
    
    The warning was:
    
      operator '?:' has lower precedence than '+'; '+' will be evaluated first
    
    I suspect that this is not the original authors intention.
    PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P is going to be 0 or 1, so if we evaluate the '+'
    first, the condition will always be non-zero, so true.  The whole
    expression could then be simplified to just '1', which doesn't make
    much sense.
    
    I suspect the answer the author was expecting was either 2 or 3.  Why
    they didn't just write:
    
      busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P(out_vmask)) ? 2 : 3;
    
    I have no clue, however, to keep the structure of the code unchanged,
    I've updated things to:
    
      busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = 1 + (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P (out_vmask) ? 1 : 2);
    
    which silences the warning from clang, and is, I am guessing, what the
    original author intended.
