Commit f71dc176aa 'Make
hpte_need_flush() correctly mask for multiple page sizes' introduced
bug, which is triggered when a kernel with a 64k base page size is run
on a system whose hardware does not 64k hash PTEs. In this case, we
emulate 64k pages with multiple 4k hash PTEs, however in
hpte_need_flush() we incorrectly only mask the hardware page size from
the address, instead of the logical page size. This causes things to
go wrong when we later attempt to iterate through the hardware
subpages of the logical page.
This patch corrects the error. It has been tested on pSeries bare
metal by Michael Neuling.

Currently, hpte_need_flush() only correctly flushes the given address
for normal pages. Callers for hugepages are required to mask the
address themselves.
But hpte_need_flush() already looks up the page sizes for its own
reasons, so this is a rather silly imposition on the callers. This
patch alters it to mask based on the pagesize it has looked up itself,
and removes the awkward masking code in the hugepage caller.

The definition for the global structure mmu_gathers, used by generic code,
is currently defined in multiple places not including anything used by
64-bit Book3E. This changes it by moving to one place common to all
processors.

That patch used to just add a hook to page table flushing but
pulling that string brought out a whole bunch of issues, so it
now does that and more:
- We now make the RCU batching of page freeing SMP only, as I
believe it was intended initially. We make a few more things compile
to nothing on !CONFIG_SMP
- Some macros are turned into functions, though that forced me to
out of line a few stuffs due to unsolvable include depenencies,
however it's probably better that way anyway, it's not -that-
critical code path.
- 32-bit didn't call pte_free_finish() on tlb_flush() which means
that it wouldn't push out the batch to RCU for delayed freeing when
a bunch of page tables have been freed, they would just stay in there
until the batch gets full.
64-bit BookE will use that hook to maintain the virtually linear
page tables or the indirect entries in the TLB when using the
HW loader.

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.
It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

This renames the files to clarify the fact that they are used by
the hash based family of CPUs (the 603 being an exception in that
family but is still handled by that code).
This paves the way for the new tlb_nohash.c coming via a subsequent
commit.
