Subject: powerpc/thp: Invalidate with vpn in loop

commit 969b7b208f7408712a3526856e4ae60ad13f6928 upstream.

As per ISA, for 4k base page size we compare 14..65 bits of VA specified
with the entry_VA in tlb. That implies we need to make sure we do a
tlbie with all the possible 4k va we used to access the 16MB hugepage.
With 64k base page size we compare 14..57 bits of VA. Hence we cannot
ignore the lower 24 bits of va while tlbie .We also cannot tlb
invalidate a 16MB entry with just one tlbie instruction because
we don't track which va was used to instantiate the tlb entry.
