Subject: [PATCH v2 20/25] powerpc32: Remove clear_pages() and define
 clear_page() inline

clear_pages() is never used, and PPC32 is the only architecture
(still) having this function. Neither PPC64 nor any other
architecture has it.

This patch removes clear_page() and move clear_page() function
inline (same as PPC64) as it only is a few isns
