    Bug 444571 - PPC, fix the lxsibzx and lxsihzx so they only load their respective sized data.
    
    The lxsibzx was doing a 64-bit load.  The result was initializing
    additional bytes in the register that should not have been initialized.
    The memcheck/tests/linux/dlclose_leak test detected the issue.  The
    code generation uses lxsibzx and stxsibx with -mcpu=power9.  Previously
    the lbz and stb instructions were generated.
    
    The same issue was noted and fixed with the lxsihzx instruction.  The
    memcheck/tests/linux/badrw test now passes as well.
