[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Fix panic on boot with 4K page size

For transparent hugepage config, we need to use double the size
of the pmd. Hence we should use PMD_CACHE_INDEX when allocating
pagetable cache. For all configs other than book3s 64k this value
is same as PMD_INDEX_SIZE. With 4k, since we don't support
transparent hugepage in hash mode, we can use PMD_INDEX_SIZE even
though CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is defined. With book3s 4k
THP is only supported in radix mode.

Fixes:"powerpc: port 64 bits pgtable_cache to 32 bits"
