powerpc/hugetlb: Don't do runtime allocation of 16G pages in LPAR con…

…figuration

commit 35f2806 upstream.

We added runtime allocation of 16G pages in commit 4ae279c
("powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Allow runtime allocation of 16G.") That was done
to enable 16G allocation on PowerNV and KVM config. In case of KVM
config, we mostly would have the entire guest RAM backed by 16G
hugetlb pages for this to work. PAPR do support partial backing of
guest RAM with hugepages via ibm,expected#pages node of memory node in
the device tree. This means rest of the guest RAM won't be backed by
16G contiguous pages in the host and hence a hash page table insertion
can fail in such case.

An example error message will look like

  hash-mmu: mm: Hashing failure ! EA=0x7efc00000000 access=0x8000000000000006 current=readback
  hash-mmu:     trap=0x300 vsid=0x67af789 ssize=1 base psize=14 psize 14 pte=0xc000000400000386
  readback[12260]: unhandled signal 7 at 00007efc00000000 nip 00000000100012d0 lr 000000001000127c code 2

This patch address that by preventing runtime allocation of 16G
hugepages in LPAR config. To allocate 16G hugetlb one need to kernel
command line hugepagesz=16G hugepages=<number of 16G pages>

With radix translation mode we don't run into this issue.

This change will prevent runtime allocation of 16G hugetlb pages on
kvm with hash translation mode. However, with the current upstream it
was observed that 16G hugetlbfs backed guest doesn't boot at all.

We observe boot failure with the below message:
  [131354.647546] KVM: map_vrma at 0 failed, ret=-4

That means this patch is not resulting in an observable regression.
Once we fix the boot issue with 16G hugetlb backed memory, we need to
use ibm,expected#pages memory node attribute to indicate 16G page
reservation to the guest. This will also enable partial backing of
guest RAM with 16G pages.
