Subject: [PATCH 4.9 086/241] powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Filter out hugepage size not supported by page table layout

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit a525108cf1cc14651602d678da38fa627a76a724 ]

Without this if firmware reports 1MB page size support we will crash
trying to use 1MB as hugetlb page size.

echo 300 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1024kB/nr_hugepages

kernel BUG at ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/hugetlb.h:19!

[c0000000e2c27e30] c00000000000ac98 handle_page_fault+0x10/0x30

With fix, we don't enable 1MB as hugepage size.
