Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64s/radix: Fix huge vmap false positive

pmd_huge() is defined to false when HUGETLB_PAGE is not configured, but the vmap code still installs huge PMDs. This leads to false bad PMD errors when vunmapping because it is not seen as a huge PTE, and the bad PMD check catches it. The end result may not be much more serious than some bad pmd warning messages, because the pmd_none_or_clear_bad() does what we wanted and clears the huge PTE anyway.

Fix this by checking pmd_is_leaf(), which checks for a PTE regardless of config options. The whole huge/large/leaf stuff is a tangled mess but that's kernel-wide and not something we can improve much in arch/powerpc code.

pmd_page(), pud_page(), etc., called by vmalloc_to_page() on huge vmaps can similarly trigger a false VM_BUG_ON when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n, so those checks are adjusted. The checks were added by commit d6eacedd1f0e ("powerpc/book3s: Use config independent helpers for page table walk"), while implementing a similar fix for other page table walking functions.

Fixes d909f9109c30 ("powerpc/64s/radix: Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP")
