Subject: [PATCH 3/3] powerpc/mm: call H_BLOCK_REMOVE when supported

Instead of calling H_BLOCK_REMOVE all the time when the feature is
exhibited, call this hcall only when the couple base page size, page size
is supported as reported by the TLB Invalidate Characteristics.

For regular pages and hugetlb, the assumption is made that the page size is
equal to the base page size. For THP the page size is assumed to be 16M.
