Subject: powerpc/64s/hash: Allow MAP_FIXED allocations to cross 128TB boundary

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email protected]>

commit 35602f82d0c765f991420e319c8d3a596c921eb8 upstream.

While mapping hints with a length that cross 128TB are disallowed, MAP_FIXED allocations that cross 128TB are allowed. These are failing on hash (on radix they succeed). Add an additional case for fixed mappings to expand the addr_limit when crossing 128TB.
