Aneesh Kumar K.V a525108cf1 powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Filter out hugepage size not supported by page table layout ...

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.
