8xx sometimes need to load a invalid/non-present TLBs in
it DTLB asm handler.
These must be invalidated separaly as linux mm doesn't.
Commit 5efab4a02c89c252fb4cce097aafde5f8208dbfe was invalidating them in
arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c.
This patch does the invalidation earlier in order to free the TLB as soon as
possible. This also has the advantage of removing some 8xx specific code from
fault.c
