There are some setuptools specific changes in the bdist_rpm module that

already contains them. The code that is removed in this commit from
bdist_rpm is already part of the python-3.5 version of distutils.

Restoring mis-placed comment, added comment for PPC64LE specific permission fix and reduced number of jobs for the same platform.
