[PATCH] powerpc/mm: bail out early when flushing TLB page

MMU_NO_CONTEXT is conditionally defined as 0 or (unsigned int)-1. However,
in __flush_tlb_page() a corresponding variable is only tested for open
coded 0, which can cause NULL pointer dereference if `mm' argument was
legitimately passed as such.
Bail out early in case the first argument is NULL, thus eliminate confusion
between different values of MMU_NO_CONTEXT and avoid disabling and then
re-enabling preemption unnecessarily.
