Subject: [073/289] powerpc: Fix call to subpage_protection()

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@...ling.org>

commit 1c2c25c78740b2796c7c06640784cb6732fa4907 upstream.

In:
  powerpc/mm: Fix pgtable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
  commit d28513bc7f675d28b479db666d572e078ecf182d
  Author: David Gibson <david@...son.dropbear.id.au>

subpage_protection() was changed to to take an mm rather a pgdir but it
didn't change calling site in hashpage_preload().  The change wasn't
noticed at compile time since hashpage_preload() used a void* as the
parameter to subpage_protection().

This is obviously wrong and can trigger the following crash when
CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT are enabled.
