powerpc/mm: Add a CONFIG option to choose if radix is used by default

Browse Source 
Currently if the hardware supports the radix MMU we will use
it, *unless* "disable_radix" is passed on the kernel command line.

However some users would like the reverse semantics. ie. The kernel
uses the hash MMU by default, unless radix is explicitly requested on
the command line.

So add a CONFIG option to choose whether we use radix by default or
not, and expand the disable_radix command line option to allow
"disable_radix=no" which *enables* radix.

When the hardware supports the Radix MMU, default to using it unless
"disable_radix[=yes]" is specified on the kernel command line.
If this option is disabled, the Hash MMU will be used by default,
unless "disable_radix=no" is specified on the kernel command line.
If you're unsure, say Y.
