powerpc/mm: Add trace point for tracking hash pte fault

Browse Source 
This enables us to understand how many hash fault we are taking
when running benchmarks.

For ex:
-bash-4.2# ./perf stat -e  powerpc:hash_fault -e page-faults /tmp/ebizzy.ppc64 -S 30  -P -n 1000
...

 Performance counter stats for '/tmp/ebizzy.ppc64 -S 30 -P -n 1000':

       1,10,04,075      powerpc:hash_fault
       1,10,03,429      page-faults

      30.865978991 seconds time elapsed

NOTE:
The impact of the tracepoint was not noticeable when running test. It was
within the run-time variance of the test. For ex:

without-patch:
--------------

 Performance counter stats for './a.out 3000 300':

	  7.236562      task-clock (msec)         #    0.928 CPUs utilized
