Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/hugetlb: Fix 8M hugepages on 8xx

With HW assistance all page tables must be 4k aligned, the 8xx
drops the last 12 bits during the walk.

Redefine HUGEPD_SHIFT_MASK to mask last 12 bits out.
HUGEPD_SHIFT_MASK is used to for alignment of page table cache.

Fixes: 22569b881d37 ("powerpc/8xx: Enable 8M hugepage support with HW assistance")

v2: Only do the fix of alignment which is the only vital fix.
