powerpc/mm: Fix pgtable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
commit d28513bc7f675d28b479db666d572e078ecf182d
Author: David Gibson <da...@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
subpage_protection() was changed to to take an mm rather a pgdir but it
didn't change calling site in hashpage_preload(). The change wasn't
noticed at compile time since hashpage_preload() used a void* as the
parameter to subpage_protection().
This is obviously wrong and can trigger the following crash when
CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT are enabled.

I narrowed this down to adding the following on pseries_defconfig:
+CONFIG_SLAB=y
+CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y
+CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=y
+CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
To reproduce the fail.
