[Powerpc] fix switch_slb handling of 1T ESID values

Now that we have 1TB segment size support, we need to be using the
GET_ESID_1T macro when comparing ESID values for pc,stack, and
unmapped_base within switch_slb().    A new helper function called
esids_match() contains the logic for deciding when to call GET_ESID
and GET_ESID_1T.

This also happens to fix a duplicate-slb-entry inspired machine-check
exception I was seeing when trying to run java on a power6 partition.

Tested on power6 and power5.

Just a bit of whitespace cosmetic touchup in this version, as suggested
by Stephen Rothwell.
