[PATCH V2] powerpc: Fix comments in fsl_booke_mmu code that mention BATS

There are no BATS on BookE - we have the TLBCAM instead.  Also correct
the page size information to included extended sizes.  We don't actually allow
a 4G page size to be used, so comment on that as well.

Even lamer, I forgot that we don't actually allow use of a 4G page.
Update the comment to reflect this.
