Since the integration of [JDK-8359437](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8359437) the `LockingMode` flag can no longer be set by the user, instead it's declared as `const int LockingMode = LM_LIGHTWEIGHT;`. This means that we can now safely remove all `LockingMode` related code from all platforms.

This PR removes `LockingMode` related code from the **ppc64le** platform.

When all the `LockingMode` code has been removed from all platforms, we can go on and remove it from shared (non-platform specific) files as well. And finally remove the `LockingMode` variable itself.
