[POWERPC] spufs: don't yield CPU in spu_yield

Browse source 
There is no reason to yield the CPU in spu_yield - if the backing
thread reenters spu_run it gets added to the end of the runqueue for
it's priority.  So the yield is just a slowdown for the case where
we have higher priority contexts waiting.
