[PATCH kernel] powerpc: Make vmalloc_to_phys() public

This makes vmalloc_to_phys() public as there will be another user
(in-kernel VFIO acceleration) for it soon.

As a part of future little optimization, this changes the helper to call
vmalloc_to_pfn() instead of vmalloc_to_page() as the size of the
struct page may not be power-of-two aligned which will make gcc use
multiply instructions instead of shifts.

A couple of notes:

1. real_vmalloc_addr() will be reworked later by Paul separately;

2. the optimization note it not valid at the moment as
vmalloc_to_pfn() calls vmalloc_to_page() which does the actual
search; these helpers functionality will be swapped later
(also, by Paul).
