Subject: [PATCH 5.4 048/135] powerpc/hugetlb: Fix 8M hugepages on 8xx

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

commit 50a175dd18de7a647e72aca7daf4744e3a5a81e3 upstream.

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.
