Subject: [PATCHv3] powerpc: mm: radix_tlb: rearrange the if-else block

Clang warns:

2 errors generated.

Rework the 'if (IS_ENABLE(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE))' so hstart/hend
always gets initialized, this will silence the warnings. That will also
simplify the 'else' path. Clang is getting confused with these warnings,
but the warnings is a false-positive.
