[PATCH] powerpc, mm: Fix build failure due to CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM

The function flush_hash_page fails to compile when the transaction memory
config option is turned off because there is a label at end of compound
statement. This patch moves the code block into a function tm_abort_tlbi
and calls it after the label thus fixing the build problem.
